A chassis dyno, which is what you most often see, measures the power at the wheels. This is the power at the crank minus any losses from the drivetrain.

I'm realy wondering how the Camaro can lose about 90 rwhp trough the drivetrain. This seems not to be realistic.
A realistic value in a RWD would be 25 for the manual and 40 for the automat.
That means 340 - 370 rwhp
corrected enginge power for the auto and 370 - 400 rwhp corrected enginge power for the manual.
Same as with our Chryslers we had on several German Dynos! In most cases was the engine power > 10 % less manufactures data.
