doesn't take any gearing into account though. can't see how it can be any way accurate

and it's based on wrong wheel drive!

Cleary, its for thw boy racers to quote optimistic bhp figures in front of their under age girlfriends!

// 1/4 mile stuff

quartermile = Math.pow((iWeight/(iHp*.854)), (1/3))*5.825;
quartermile = Math.round(quartermile*10)/10;
document.form1.et.value= quartermile;

//0-60 stuff

zeroToSixty = Math.pow(iWeight / iHp * .875, .75);
zeroToSixty = Math.round(zeroToSixty*10)/10;
document.form1.sixty.value = zeroToSixty;


Looks a rather simplistic calc to me

From http://www.letstorquebhp.com/explained.asp

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



So they aren't missing out anything important then.
