That's fine as long as you provide a full accounting of the total energy budget.
Dr. Wolf eludes to it.
You'll find that, for instance, the cooling drag of your pet 911 Carrera is, conditionally, remarkably higher than published. And without this additional drag you 'Chernobyl' the engine.
To arrive at this conclusion requires the trail of bread crumb accounting. Dr. Wolf can explain it better than I.
Porsche's official owner's manual for the Carrera will provide some of the necessary data required for the calculations. The rest will come from varied sources.
Track data for the car, say, from Laguna Seca, Willow Springs, or Road Atlanta, will provide insight into the non-passive, 'Track-mode' cooling requirements, mentioned, but not quantified in Dr. Wolf's presentation.
It is this data which will add a richer contextual experience for the reader.
