I figure it is constant if the drivetrain is constant. The % lost between different cars/transmissions will be different.
EDIT: and as the above posters mentioned, tires too. Basically any mechanical piece that helps transfer the power from the engine down to the road WILL affect the final hp given on the wheels. You change any piece of that in between the engine and the road, and you will have different % loss.
