wheel hp in the states always seems to be higher than over here, no matter what the car!
Why is that ?

Why is that ?Is USA fuel a lower rating RON as well ?
What's more confusing for me is how different dynos come up with transmission losses!... On my car for similar power to me some claim as much as 120bhp but I've had dynos say it was 50bhp... So there are cars with less whp than me in the states with 50bhp more??
But the most confusing thing for me is where the 120bhp is going... I mean that's a huge amount if energy, it's certainly not going into noise as it would literally be heard 10miles away so it's only going to heat... And that's a massive amount of heat!

Andy its not that much heat! if you think your engine is generating approx 600bhp worth of heat and the little rad at the front is getting rid of all of it.

What is taking the heat away for the 120bhp transmission losses, it has a small amount of oil with a tiny rad yet the box doesnt go over 110deg c... so were is all that power going if its not going to heat?
