performance calculator

💡 okies, I ran into this cool site few months ago, and now that I've noticed peoples wondering how well their car would do in real life, so try this:

http://www.letstorquebhp.com/

it's performance calculator, that tells quite accurately the performance stats of your cars. quartermile, 0-60, 0-100, 60-100 etc. have fun toodling around!

for example, these are results for 205 T16 evo II:

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 550
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1100
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 508.03
0 - 60 (Secs) : 2.74
0 - 100 (Secs) : 6.64
60 - 100 (Secs) : 3.90
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.19
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 129.83
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 10.79
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 134.44

pretty neat, huh?

Without taking into account power curve, gear ratios, drivetrain losses, traction, aerodynamics, suspension, etc., this is just another estimation using algorithms derived from tested times that kinda/sorta match up with real life ...

Personally, I'm more excited about the database of times they have
