Default do evo's lose more power through transmission

As titled do evos lose more power through transmission than scoobys? For example, my cousins evo is producing 406bhp but hes only getting 300 at the wheels, is this the same with scoobys?

Someone will be along who knows more than me, but around 25% seems about right for most AWD cars. Imprezas will be around the same.

4x4 will always lose more than 2 wheel drive but then 4x4 has traction so can put its power down to the road better. Don't get too distracted with numbers. Numbers dont always tell the whole story. A 2 wheel drive may look better on paper, but on tarmac its quite often a different story.

MLR have a 24% rule i believe.

A DCCD impreza should have less transmission losses than a non-DCCD one.

DCCD is 15-19% loss IIRC.
