Chalk up another one for OneBad95, but I made a good showing against him. Good win.

Hey J, how bout a virtual drag race session? Base it on our current mods, and hp to weight ratio. There is prolly a program out there, to give an estimate of possible performance. Just another wayt to get points.

that was real close. I like your idea about the virtual drag race. That would be killer.

Egad, the calculations seem pretty fast for my car. Unfortunately, I estimating my rear wheel horspower. I have approximately 437 at the flywheel based on the specs of the motor. I figure a 20 percent loss at the rear wheels. That would make for about 350 hp at the wheels. The car weighs approximately 2800 pounds without driver. So I need to add 180 pounds for me, and that should make it a little more realistic.

11.89 sec, 114.59 mph.........I have no timeslips to confirm this. It seems a little fast to me. My old 89 ran 14.4 at 90 something mph, and it should of had 225 at the rear wheels. According to the calculator, it would be closer to 14.05

Is there anything, that might consider gear ratios into the equation?

This one seems really close. The Fantasy Car one sucked royally. It put me as a 17 sec car!
