Hell theres even a video of a stock accord pushing 218 hp at the wheels when it was tested. Now if you account for drivetrain loss thats right around 270. Then there are dynos of the exact same accord pushing around 195 with like condtions.


ok, where the hell do you get that 218whp is somehow equal to 270hp!? in a fwd car no less.

I always thought a good estimate of % drivetrain loss for FWD vehicles is about 12%...12% of 240 is 29hp...240-29=211hp which is pretty damned close to your 218hp dyno tested accord.
