What do you suppose the HP loss is on an AWD car is?

I know the NG900 for example has a loss of something like 10 to 12 percent. The C900 as much as 15 or more. But with AWD, there's a lot more mechanical loss.
Sport Compact Car's latest issue reviews 6 tweaked Soobie WRX's. HP at the wheels was no more than 202 on the hottest car in the bunch. I'm not all that impressed (hate the looks anyway, so I'd never get one...) except for the fact that they are cranking through all four wheels. Funny thing is that SCC is just raving about these cars.
Trying to estimate what the crank hp might be. 227 is standard at the crank, but w/ AWD who knows what "standard" is at the wheels...
