Horsepower on engine vs wheels?

Someone told me they have 370hp at the rear wheels but what is that on the motor?

That's alot of ponies are you sure there isn't supposed to be a decimal point in that somewhere? Is this on a banshee?

No its a supercharged saleen but 370 seems like nothing for a saleen especially with a supercharger, but its at the rear wheels so dont know what it is on engine.

I was thinking that a Cobra was around 390HP engine and about 370HP at the wheels, So I'd say that's reasonable. I'd hope a saleen made more because it costs more though. What year? What size engine?

 

EDIT: I thought you were talking about a Banshee so thanks for clearing that up.

Thats sounds about right. You do lose a few ponies in the drive train so I would have to say the motor is at least 20 hp stronger. ..... just my .02

Well here is a link to it, some guy wants to trade me it, but those kinda horsepower number make me disapointed

Not that impressed since they swapped engines. Go to all that work and it should have been 400+. my.02
