From what little I know, the drivetrain loss percentage is not effected by the dyno. Correct me if I'm wrong here someone. But the % should be more like 15%. Correct?

Also, re the Turbo M-Coupe...I don't think the M-Coupe is capable of reaching speeds passed ~165mph due to gearing. I did a top speed run on a dyno, and I hit my rev limit in 5th (JimC Sharked) and the needle was just passing the 160 mark. So does this M-Coupe you were in have a different tranny and differential? Also I read somewhere the aerodynamics of the Coupe aren't good enough to allow 170mph+ speeds. Anyway...just curious...
