Guest Guests Posted 21/04/08 03:32 AM Share Posted 21/04/08 03:32 AM That would also be due to the fact that autos aren't as efficient as manual's in transferring power to the wheels. A 350rwkw auto and a 350rwkw manual would have 2 completely different engine kw figures... with the auto being higher than that of the manual.
