Where are you getting that quote? Did they say that in the video? I watched it at low volume because I am at work.

We're used to seeing chassis dyno readouts listed in horsepower at the wheels, but this one appears to be configured for conversions to horsepower at the crankshaft.

Check out this one. Maybe the correction factor was messed up, or they calculated for crank horsepower. 208hp is a 20+% drivetrain loss, which is more on par with what is stated.

There are two different videos. One in the link from the post on the crash with 208whp. The other video shows 278hp.

First drag starts 4 minutes in, nothing unexpected against a ctr in the wet, Yaris gets a good launch because awd but the civic pulls harder at higher speeds with a power advantage.

Saved you ten minutes, video is mostly from ctrs pov.

Yeah, message from the video: get a Yaris if you want to drag race in the rain from a dig.

Honestly starting to really hate carwow lol. The content is really meant for the uninformed buyer. How shocking it would be for a Yaris buyer to get beat by a CTR in a straight line in the dry after watching this video, thinking they have the edge.

Their cinematography is actually pretty bad too. When they do the aerial shots of the cars 'racing' it's quite apparent to me that they aren't even racing.

And they keep drag racing FWD cars lol, struggling for content.
