These are deceptive practices, period. Selling it under one measurement, but in reality its going to be used under another measurement.
So I suppose you feel real ripped off too because you buy a 270 horsepower car, but that is ONLY at a fixed rpm and load... in the real world overall performance not barely near that... but thats OK the engine CAN do it when just right?
Better question, is that 270HP at the crank or at the wheels?

It depends on what decade you are talking about. Up to early 70s, HP was before the drivetrane. Through the 70s & 80s the HP was after the drivetrane(whether it be after the rear differential or after the trans-axle). The 90s starting seeing the HP as once again before the drivetrane. Of course there are exceptions in all decades, but this in generally correct. And by the way, torque developed in your first & second gear is what wins the quarter mile.
