whp vs rated hp, help me out here!
 

ok, when cars are rated with hp, like the neon srt-4 is rated at something like 240 hp, is that whp or at the crank? I want to know what cars I can somewhat keep up with in my weight class. Also, the RSX is 200hp, is that whp or just at the crank, because my car is about 170whp, which would be Close to 200 at the crank.

Manufactures rate their cars at the crank.

you loose about 15% from crank to wheels in a manual right?

awd cars will always lose more power at the wheels than 2wd cars.
