197hp at the crank is measured with full intake, exhaust, emissions, and accessories, all under the revised SAE specified conditions. The component reducing the power to the wheels is the transmission, cv joints, and rotational mass (brake rotors, wheels, and tires). Out of those, the transmission is the biggest parasite.
