1/4 mile, 0-60, etc.. Calculater

[Ben_Stevo172]

I think this is pretty accurate? What do you think? You put the power of your car in and the wight in kg and it tells you the 1/4 mile time, 0-60 and the power to weight ratio per tonne! Genius!

Whats your results? post them below!

load of old bollucks, how is that going to calculate drag coefficients etc?

It's about as accurate as trying to piss into a thimble from 40,000 feet.

Its accuarate for my car - 1/4 mile dragstrip in 14.74 - I did it at santa pod in 14.79. Pretty close I think!

The results are based purely on all the car figures on the site, put together.

Also gear change is not calculated as all cars change gears at different time's.

It good to get a ''rough'' idea though.

And it uses power at the fly ! we all know how accurate that can be.....

 

[Barron]

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 202
Weight without Driver (KG) : 915
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 224.31
0 - 60 (Secs) : 5.31
0 - 100 (Secs) : 13.126
0 - 100 (Secs) : 7.81
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 13.71
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 102.21
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 13.51
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 104.08


hmmm

Always been pretty bob on for me tbh

Handy for power to weight more than anything

Quote "Formulas do not take into consideration other factors that could also affect real life figures, e.g. torque, gear ratios, aerodynamics, air density, temperature etc, these are not easy obtainable"

Its good for an idea though, probably just a bit less accurate than rolling roads
