Please tell me if I'm wrong.

The 260 is probably close, considering many automatics lose ~ 25% (260*.75 = 195)... and many manuals lose ~ 15% (260*.85=221). That said, individual trannys differ, and may lose varying percentages. Having a car whose WHP is lower than 200 kinda blows, but a CAI and headers will fix that relatively inexpensively.

Due to the HLSD we lose a little bit more than an open differential manual, about 2% more...
