I would figure 15% for RWD and 20% for the AWD System. Probably cannot predict accurately as it isn't linear through the rev range but i believe it is that much of a loss at the peak.

Somebody correct me if this is wrong.

not bad, do you happen to know how much HP each puts down to the wheel stock ?

Stupid noob question... You've answered what the drive train loss is for AT and MT, but does that take into account the use of DTC / DSC? Probably doesn't affect those Percentages too much but was just curious...

You have 100% loss in the moments when DSC kicks in.
