hp rating @ flywheel or rearwheels?
I had asked a question about 98 and 99 mustangs a few weeks ago. You guys said that a 98 v8 coupe is 220hp stock. a 99 v8 coupe is 260hp. Is that at the flywheel, or at the back wheels? Just wondering because I heard that the hp rating is now stated at rwhp. (i.e 1991 Mustang Rated @225hp *flywheel*) (1998 Mustang Rated @220hp *rearwheels*) Get what i'm asking?

no car manufacturers rate their vehicles at the wheels.
It's all flywheel hp.

rude but true......... yea what ever #s makes a product look better will be the ones you see. such as a product dynoing giving you a claim 22hp means that 1 out of 100 cars actually got 22hp from that product... i always take what they say a part will give you and divide it right in half [8D]
