Engine HP vs RWHP (rear wheel hp at the ground as measured on a dyno).

The LS3 (426hp) makes around 350-375 rwhp depending on dyno.

The L99 A6 (400hp) makes around 315 - 330 rwhp depending on dyno. The
L99 A6 is an automatic and thats why its numbers are much lower. Automatics lose a lot more HP through the transmission.

The V6 Camaro (305hp) makes around 240 rwhp (FYI).
