Default HP rating rumor

Hi I'm a newb to audiforums but a regular at clubgp.com. I figured this was the best place to ask my question: does Audi measure their advertised HP #'s at the wheels? I heard this from a cousin of mine who has a 02 S4. After posting about the upcoming race I have scheduled w/ the S4, on clubgp, I was told this isn't true. Help me out! TIA

Here's a link to the thread

They measure at the crank. Man, those guys on the forum really have no idea what they are blabbing about half the time. [&:]

Yeah most of us don't know jack about European cars...sad isn't it?

The saddest part is that my cousin w/ the 02 S4 is the one who originally told me that Audi measures HP at the wheels

What exactly were you referring to though?

"Chip adding 50hp ??? I highly doubt that."

"19-21 psi was a flat out guess "

Wow, someone else from ClubGP here. I have been posting there for like 4 years.

I'd like to say that not everyone on that forum is stupid enough to believe Audi rates their HP at the wheels. But I can't speak for everyone at the site because you're always going to have 'noobs' who don't know much about cars.
