5-Speed = 20%
Automatic = 23-25%
That's not unfair or unreal...the automatic transmissions really suck up
some HP.
I was being nice. ;)

Bernd, is 20% your estimate??? maybe the driveline loss is 23.6% (250 minus
23.6%=191)
Unfortunately the article didn't note how many pulls they did at each level,
you and I both know each pull can vary by 1-5 hp, that said, maybe they gave
an average, or maybe they only did one pull (stock). either way, we're
splitting hairs :) 191 or 200, 20%or 23%, still an awful lot of driveline
loss.
