Question

Ummm.... so, beav, does this mean you CAN devour chlorestoral after all? To drag out the issue, & I'm NOT an engineer, nor do I play one on TV, but since we now measure HP at the driving wheels, would that 60' Lincoln Limo's 300HP engine now be rated at 100HP, assuming it's RWD; due to the loss of power through a LONG driveshaft? NO FAIR!! Or, if were connected to a FWD set-up, would it now be rated at 400HP?
It SEEMS that the pre '70s measurement was more accurate as an accessment of what the mill was actually crankin' out.
Oh, and with AWD, at which end do we measure, or is an average?
Ron.
