Don---I don't have any figures for the TR, but some say taking 15% off
the HP at the flywheel will get you close to what is delivered to the
rear wheels. 
I once mistakenly believed drive train loss to be a fixed number. I have
since been shown the error in this thought, and that it goes up as the
HP increases.
