Anyone tried these 0-60 & 1/4 mile calculators.

I have used car & driver weight to keep it as accurate as possible

here is the link

http://www.torquestats.com/modified/ind ... calculator

My results were:

RWD - 165bhp & 1050kg
Power to Weight: 160 bhp/ton
0-60: 6.7
0-100: 18.4
60-100: 11.7
1/4 Mile ET: 15.10
1/4 Mile Terminal: 90
Dragstrip 1/4 Mile ET: 14.90
Dragstrip 1/4 Mile Terminal: 94

Its amazing how loosing a few kilos can alter the results

1050 isn't real weight... Don't forget fuel and Driver!

I put in 70kgs for myself and got more realistic figure. ET of 15.5secs ish 0-60 7.1sec

the base spec is

Engine 1598cc
Cylinders 4 DOHC
Power 120 PS @ 6,500
Weight 950 kg
0-60 mph 9.0 seconds

I thought kerb weight included fluids as opposed to dry weight

Or you could ad 950 + 80KG (me) + PS + EW

Seat of the pants feels like its in the 6's, ran 0-80 neck & neck with a fiat coupe 20V turbo the other day.

kamen I'll give you buzz over the weekend, what part of arklow are you living in?
