good work! I LOVE fiat coupes a couple of years back I was all geared up to get one but the insurance qat the time was a cripler so I got a 172 instead. I have a meg 225 now chipped to 270 brake, an earlier comment made on 4x4 tranny losses at higher speeds is bang on, chipped, my 225 is a pretty even match for an STI once rolling obviously, but when it was standard had a few dos with WRX and I tell you when you hit 70 the megane just breezes past them its amazing. Obviously from a standing start I would get my FWD *** kicked but scoobs seem to hit somewhat of a brick wall at 70/80 from what I've seen

The new STi's with the A-DCCD or the old STi's with this loose about as much as your cars to transmission losses, just a word of warning

Your transmission losses are due to the differentials and gearbox, if you have an open differential your losses are minimal.
Ive seen these cars with transmission losses of between 15-18%, thats the same as your standard fwd car, so yes

you could be right!, my s60r has awd, ive heard peeps doing dyno runs, in awd mode, then pulling the awd fuse, so car defaults to fwd, the dyno results are near enough the same wheel bhp
