Horsepower at wheel versus crank?
Dear Friends, could you please help me understand the sc430's horsepower at the wheel versus the crank? I have heard that the horsepower at the wheel is much lower, something like 200 versus around 300 at the crank? Is it correct that the stock produces 200 at the wheel? If not, what is the correct baseline OE production of HP at the wheel?

the stock hp is really 288 hp at the crank, after going through the trans. then through the rear end you end up, with about 225 hp.

Thanks for the information. Is there technical documentation that shows the wheel HP is 225? Thanks!

Was on a DynoJet Research Dyno at Mach V MotorSports. You can see the plot in my garage page.
