Incidentally and you probably already know this since you have owned some, my MT C6 has averaged about 16% loss through the drive-train stock and through each mod. Tested with numerous dynos and it's almost the same every time.
My old C6Z was the same. Stock rwhp accounting for 16% loss came out at around 507hp at the crank.
That's pretty good considering some of the cars I have owned. Advertised HP can be all over the board. My E46 M3 MT had around a 21% loss.
I once had a new 2004 Terminator that was advertised at 390/390 at the crank. Within a week I had it tested on a dyno and it almost put that exact number down to the rear wheel. So it was underrated big time.

Did you arrive at that 16% loss factor by comparing engine dyno vs. chassis dyno? Just curious. |
Further it seems like 15% still applies to manuals, but the two pedal set is seeing something in the 8-10% range these days.
