How much HP loss??

How much does the average 5 speed GT/Cobra lose to the wheels?

96/97 GT: 215hp net = ??rwhp
98 GT: 225hp net = ??rwhp
96-98 Cobra 305hp net = ??rwhp
99-04 GT: 260hp net = ??rwhp

and so on

I know it's generally up to a 15% loss for a car but I was wondering what our cars lose.
