Re: The Difference between BHP and WHP

The horsepower specs for new cars are usually the power at the motor, so its always higher than the power to the wheels. Not sure what brake horsepower is. I think it is when they put the car on jackstands and take the wheels off, then bolt up these portable dynomometer things to the wheel studs to measure horspower. Not sure though.
