i may be misreading what you said.
all cars loose power from crank to tires
OEMs rate power at the flywheel(crank) as the industry standard.
in the aftermarket world we look in terms of to the tires.
as an example my 5.0 makes 412 crank hp stock, it made 375hp to the tires stock.
chassis dynos measure the power you put to the ground, autos soak up a bit more power than manuals but its not to far off usually
