1/4 mile calculator
« on: Sep 28, 2008, 02:08AM »
Its reasonably accurate and a bit of fun.

A friends mk111 supra actually ran a 14.3sec and the calculator says 14.1sec

My soarer according to this will run 13.9!

See what you come up with....

Bog standard R31 Pintara won't calculate - needs power to weight ratio better than 95 HP/ tonne. Starting from 100 HP... not a chance!

pretty close, i'd er on the side that it thinks your car is 2 tenths quicker than it is...... mine does a 13.5 quarter and that said a 13.3 so id say a little quick but damn close none the less

Don't let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you're crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you're lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you're greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn't understand.

to be fair, it wouldn't be ANTRX if we stayed on topic.

and if someone wasn't cranky at Chr1s for something he said...

Mine worked out to roughly 12.1 secs :) but wouldn't it be more accurate using power at the wheels rather than at the engine?

Old power it recons 13.4, which wasnt far off, did a 13.3

As for new power, it recons a 12.89 which id be fucking happy if i could do that!

It seems to be pretty acurate with engine horse power..

.1 off sticky thats pretty damn close! If you have done further mods then that 12.8 seems possible. :)
