It doesn't take into account gear ratios, tyre size, etc.

Even when I am generous with the weight (as standard my nova was less than 800kg) it comes out as this:

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 160
Weight without Driver (KG) : 800
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 203.21
0 - 60 (Secs) : 5.70
0 - 100 (Secs) : 14.68
60 - 100 (Secs) : 8.98
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 14.14
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 98.12
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 13.94
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 99.91

I cn only dream of doing a sub 6 second to 60 and 14.1 1/4mile, lol
