Not trying to nit pic, but (for information only) using the unit "bhp" is inappropriate for this situation. Bhp stands for Brake Horse Power and in using this term, it is applied to what the engine output is. This is the power that would be available if the engine is removed from the car and dyno tested at the flywheel. Many times the use of "hp" is applied to what a car has available (like in ads for new cars) which can be easily confused as the power available at the tires when more likely it is the power output of the engine only and should be labeled as bhp. Another term for the output at the wheels is "chassis hp". Similarly, if you need to test the hp of the car as the wheels, you would use a "Chassis Dyno" and if you were testing the hp at the flywheel, you would use a "Brake Dyno." Within each of these two methods, there are a multitude of ways that the dyno is operated, but that is something for another discussion. In the case of the DeLorean, the engine is rated for 130 bhp and only has about 100 chassis hp available. Again, for information only, in quite a few other cases that I have seen (on TV, in magazines, etc.), the power available at the wheels is roughly 30 less than what the engine bhp is capable of - at least for manual transmissions. I am sorry if it appears that I am trying to stir up some trouble as this is not the case. I just thought that I might throw some "useless" info. to the list.
