Fly wheel power

On the spec sheets for a factory car power is measured
at the flywheel when you take a car to a chassis dyno power is measured
at the wheels. This figure is always lower than the flywheel figure
because the power is transferred into heat from the transmission,
diff etc. The figures bellow are to be used as a rule of thumb real
world figures may vary significantly.
