Call me pessimistic but I think your claim of 350 crank hp is on the optimistic side. Since the trans and engine are right next to each other and there is no long heavy drive shaft connecting the two, the boxster driveline is pretty efficient. It would be more comparable to a fwd car in terms of parasitic driveline loss. By your math you are saying that the boxster's driveline losses approx 23% which is quite high. It's more like about 15% so you are actually making about 328 hp at the crank not 350 hp if you are truly putting 285 hp to the ground. Where's the dyno sheet on your car?
