Quarter Mile Time Calculator

[Toby@ToyTuning.com]

A little tongue in cheek but amusing results none the less, according to the statistics we can do a qrt mile in 10.23 seconds although it doesn't take into account FWD or any other variables! :homer:

Ours says 12.21 IF ONLY!

If I have 140bhp and car and driver weigh in at 900kgs then I'm doing 1/4's in 14.87

Sound about right? 900kgs for a Glanza + me sound about right?

The car's with less BHP will be more "realistic" as there are less varaibles to take into consideration.

yeh been on that one before 12.79
292bhp per tonne

i think its a load of bollox as they dont take torque into account which does help acceleration... not all about power to weight ratio.....

anyway say i should be hitting 12.07 hmmmm 1.2secs to shave off.....

also that site makes a good point..... what one persons time may be on a particular day may be completely different another day due to wind, air temp etc....

soo how can you really compare times unless they were really on the same day/same sort of time as each other.....?

its all good saying "ive got a better time then you" when its on a completely different day/time of the year etc.... even at a different track its not really a "fair test in my opinion"....

sorry, lol, just had a brain wave haha

Obviously they are never going to be accurate. It basically shows a rough possible average time if conditions were perfect, your changes were spot on etc..

Not a bad guide though...

yeh you always have everything against u in this country, especially the weather!! if i win lotto dan will ship some gts over to malta to get some decent times

 

[GTti]

bhp per ton and traction is what it's all about.

I'm well into over 200bhp per ton at just 160bhp I doubt I will be going over 180bhp in the future, but will have a close ratio gearbox. I'm not a 1/4 mile chap but 13's is a realistic time for the GTti with good tyres.

I have about 20kgs to loose from the sunroof yet and its surrounding material. As stock it was 820kg.

According to that calculator...mine does it in 20 seconds...however it's a load of crap cause it doesn't consider my 135ft of torque.

PS: I don't have a 4EFTE!
