   When car BHP figures are stated on standard cars are they through the wheels or at the flywheel?

   And for the record the figures quoted are NOT BHP they are PS. which is a European measurement.
   
   an example being Renault Meganne 225. 225PS not 225bhp

   Around 1%
   
   100bhp is about 101Ps
   
   the closer to 1000bhp you get the biger the difference though obviously.
   
   I have a conversion somewhere i will get us a link. All our equipment is in PS you see as its brandnew and is the base figure on standard cars.
