Well, actually it is not.

There are many different components to drivetrain loss that individually vary to different degrees to load and road speed. So even a blanket percentage is a false assumption.

It is just better to leave the whp numbers as they are avoid trying to speculate crank power from them.
Which I totally agree with .... but then we start talking about different dynos, different days, fuel quality, ambient conditions etc lol. No way to know all cars compared to each other ... best way us probably to compare a couple head to head same day with same fuel.... or just stop caring about the EXACT figure by X vs Y vs Z methods which is where I've ended up haha
