awww no! not again! lol
i can't see this is any way accurate, because it doesn't take into account any gearing

Not particularly accurate. Maybe a theorectical figure in ideal conditions. Mine says 3.38 to sixty but in reality on road tyres I usually get just under 5 secs!

Its not so far out ive guessed the cars weight but done a 12.1 at santa pod last year on road legal tyres so on slicks the figures below could be achievable?

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 257
Weight without Driver (KG) : 500
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 522.25
0 - 60 (Secs) : 3.22
0 - 100 (Secs) : 8.24
60 - 100 (Secs) : 5.02
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.56
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 118.44
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.46
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 119.88

Edit to say also done a 0-60 in 4sec recorded on the digi-dash on road tyres but so many variables!

if you know the figure for a car like my bmw they reckon it should be 6.8sec but in lets torque it reckons its 7.7 so its a second difference.
