    You loose horsepower thru the drivetrain. It takes horse power to turn your tranny, wheels, axles, etc.

    For example my car, they say has 175 HP, but only about 160 of that 175 makes it to the wheels. so my HP is 175, but my WHP or FWHP is only 160...
    i think it would actuall be more like 150 or 145 lol, its a pretty big drop
