Someone enlighten me to what the "ballpark" losses are, in percentage, to the rear (or front) wheels. Like, a 100kw engine is just the engine, by the time this power gets to the wheels (thru gearbox and diff), I would assume a certain percentage loss to overcome friction, heat and other stuff. There's no way a 100kw engine could deliver 100kw at the rear wheels, unless you have some alien-technology lossless transmission and drive train. So, if you get about 20percent loss in the drivetrain, I'd expect to see around 80kw at the wheels. Am I right or am I right? I'd also assume some drivtrains would be more "lossy" than others. Autos, maybe more lossy??? Slipping clutch???? seeyuzz river [Report message to a moderator]
