Shorrik, I often wonder about these dyno tests and claimed transmission losses. If say 20bhp is lost in the transmission that is about 15Kw. That's a lot of single bar electric fires even spread out between gearbox, final drive and drive shaft joints.
I suspect that the rolling road figures extrapolated to flywheel figures have a sort feelgood percentage built in.
