915 Drivetrain Loss
A buddy with a Ford GT was telling me that his drivetrain loss with the factory Ricardo transaxle is only about 10-12%. I know that's less than a typical front engine-RWD setup, but may very well be a function of the directly attached transaxle as we have on a 911. Does anyone have a reliable value for drivetrain loss with the 915? Did it get any better/worse with the G50?

The only way to truly know would be to run on an engine dyno, slap it in and put it on a chassis dyno. I think the mindset is 12-15% drivetrain loss.
I always go for he 15% when calculating my HP after pulling runs on a chassis dyno.
