New Z hp help

EndyKwon · 03-01-2012, 12:14 AM

In regards to horsepower, it seems like theres some sort of "true" horsepower and on-paper horsepower. On paper, my 370z (like many others) are based around 332hp @ 6200 (give or take). However, looking at stillen's site, it seems like the 370z only outputs 276hp @7200 (max rev?). Could someone explain this?

Is it engine vs. rear wheel horsepower ??

The hp is never at the wheels. It's always at the flywheel. So you are going to lose about 20% hp .. I always take about 20% off from what the factory says it is.
