Crazy cool car but def. not worth the money to me. I would rather pimp out a USDM evo, putting down more hp, 1/100th the lag. Nicer rims, and cheaper insurance!
Not quite. Set up a ratio. 230/287=x/400 That puts it at about 320whp

I'm not saying that's not right but I don't get that. How is changing the hp going to change how much friction the drivetrain robs from the crank? If you were to change the drivetrain then yes I could see a change in hp loss but if nothing changes why would the ratio change?

thats not correct the fq400 had better drivetrain.. stronger clutch.. aka less loss

They dont have the same drivetrain as the esdm evos.. so the equation is not correct.. we have less aggressive components

I never said adding power is going to change the ratio. Both wheel horsepower values are about 80 percent of the crank horsepower

The ratio was set up for sake of discussion. It is obviously not an exact science. Every car is going to have a different drivetrain loss. And you have got to be kidding me about the different clutch...its not really going to skew the results. Will it have an effect? Sure...but nothing substantial. Just my .02
