It's kind of confusing how you worded that, Cd. The car nets 1001 metric hp (~987 hp), so you're saying if it were 100% efficient it would put out 3000. Maybe hp isn't the right unit to use when talking about wasted thermal energy. But I'm nit picking

The problem is they have to warranty it.
I think steam locomotives waste about 97% of their energy, correct?
