Im sorry to say, not entirely accurate. Tin top:

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 216
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1800
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 121.93
0 - 60 (Secs) : 8.53
0 - 100 (Secs) : 23.39
60 - 100 (Secs) : 14.85
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 16.92
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 85.05
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 16.72
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 86.44

She will easily do 0-60 in closer to 6. My guess at locost is looking good though:

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 155
Weight without Driver (KG) : 500
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 314.98
0 - 60 (Secs) : 3.96
0 - 100 (Secs) : 10.62
60 - 100 (Secs) : 6.66
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.41
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 108.09
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.31
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 109.40

speedy,

If you're using Jag bits, I think you may find your weight estimate a bit optimistic

Sadly... although it's based on real world statistics they are not accurate and IMO quite optimistic. Especially with regard to "average" aerodynamics... a Se7en is hardly "average" is it

Stick 0.5-0.6 secs on those 1/4 mile stats. It also states that gear changes are not taken into account - a BEC changes MUCH quicker than a CEC so you CEC boys stick another second or so on.... these are probably more realistic figures.

I know. I wasnt sure what it would be but i had a look at 600KG and 500hp from the supercharger 4litre i want to eventually put in and it said the 0-60 was 2.7

that's based on actual weight and rolling road power from two different rolling roads..............

now I just have to try it on the drag strip!!

I am pretty au fait with what a mid 3 sec to 60 car feels like, and mine feels about right, though 0-100 I have no idea, never tried it in one proper clean hit really.

What's the idea of the 'weight without driver'? Are these cars remote controlled or something?
