The way car companies measure hp is at the crank, basically the advertised hp that every company uses. Hp measured at the wheels is the crank hp that is left over after going through the drivetrain. Due to friction and other forces hp is decreased as it goes through the clutch/flywheel, tranny, driveshaft, differential and eventually to the wheels. I'm not going to get too detailed, just do a google search for wheel hp vs. crank hp.
Ohhh.. ok. Thankyou for that information. So the differance is usually 60 vs the two on our cars. Not all cars are the same either then depending if they are fr ff awd? For example a GTR claims 507hp and when dyno'd it came out to 430hp thats a 77hp differance to the wheels.

The usually assumption with HP loss is 10-15% depending on the drivetrain.
Better cars usually have less loss so the number is closer to the flywheel but never the same.
