I still can't understand how we have a 20% drive line loss. I mean my nearly the same weight Sky only had about 10% drive line loss and it is rear wheel drive. Rated at 270/270 makes 245/254 to wheels stock. So the Z rated at 332/270 should be more than 265/220 to the wheels.

From thendynos I have seen we are either loosing almost 70 HP for driveline loss or Nissan is fudging the power numbers of this motor!

I am sure all those extra goodies with Nismo add extra weight.

By adding intake, and exhaust and a tune one would think one could make more power than the Nismo.
