Well it was bound to happen.....
"Assuming a 12-percent drivetrain loss (automatics are getting more efficient each year), that means the Hellcat puts out about 722 hp at the crank. As for torque, well, the Hellcat makes more than advertised there as well — 672-lb-ft, which might help explain the set of rear tires we burned through."

We all noticed from the in-car dyno vid....the speedo stops at 200ish mph, but the revs are there to keep it climbing.
"The Hellcat is the fastest thing K&N had ever strapped to its dyno. The speedo stopped reading at 202 mph, but the car kept accelerating to above 225 mph when it over-sped the dyno."
Here's the FULL comparison.

Applying 12% and 10% drivetrain losses, especially through a torque converter, to derive crank horsepower isn't very realistic. Without a good reason to assume those values, the 15% rule of thumb is probably a better one to use.

yeah, I always use 15‰.
