Now

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 170
Weight without Driver (KG) : 810
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 213.25
0 - 60 (Secs) : 5.22
0 - 100 (Secs) : 13.81
60 - 100 (Secs) : 8.59
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 13.65
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 99.43
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 13.55
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 100.60

This was taken before my remap so 163bhp not 170

Hopefully something similar to when the s/c is done

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 260
Weight without Driver (KG) : 825
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 320.21
0 - 60 (Secs) : 3.92
0 - 100 (Secs) : 9.70
60 - 100 (Secs) : 5.78
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.26
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 112.41
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.16
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 113.74

i added 15kg for the supercharger but i hav a feeling that its probably not quite as much.

It does say that it can be off with the times, but the power to weight bit is right, never said about time although i said thier not far off, but their is too many variables for it to be dead on your right and its speculation

if i took all 4 wheels off my car it would say i can do the 1/4 mile in 15 secs odd. which is wrong... because i have no wheels on my car. fake site.

106 16v rallye

used gavin18787's power figure's -5bhp, as we have identical mod's, except my air filter isn't enclosed..

standard rallye s2 weight : 865
mine's stripped, 2 light weight bucket's, some excess interior metal removed, no spare wheels etc, so that's got to be at least -30kg

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 140
Weight without Driver (KG) : 835
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 170.36

Then you have fuked up somewhere.

I just done it for an ACT with 292bhp and it came back at 13.6.

The calculator is very accurate if you know near enough the exact weight and power.Ive seen many proven examples when using that calculator.The times have been within 10ths of a second etc.I dont know how its been thought out but they have done a good job of it.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

this has been about since the dawn of time if you didnt know about this then get off the net

i made one for vagweb which was imo even more accurate because it allowed for more variances.

Ian can have it for this site if he wants
