back on the main question...
the basic drivetrain loss is about 20%...
this is because the power is lost through the trans and wheels before it is measured, as opposed to directly at the crank... it is also good to note that part of that loss comes from engine driven accessories, power steering, etc, which are not included when dynoed from the factory with just the motor...
