Cool.

Wicked site.....

Very nice site, will have to take my car to santa pod now, to see if i can match the times. lol

This is what mine works out to be

Power at Flywheel (BHP) 395
Weight without Driver (KG) 1510
Drive Type 4 Wheel Drive (4WD)
Power To Weight Ratio (BHP/Ton) 265.79
0-60mph (Secs) 3.93
0-100mph (Secs) 9.76
60-100mph (Secs) 5.83
Quarter Mile (Secs) 12.53 @ 113.30 MPH
Drag Quarter Mile (Secs) 12.13 @ 117.06 MPH

Or 7secs faster 0-100 than a R32 Golf.....

Mine for comparison :

Power at Flywheel (BHP) 500
Weight without Driver (KG) 1620
Drive Type 4 Wheel Drive (4WD)
Power To Weight Ratio (BHP/Ton) 313.60
0-60mph (Secs) 3.47
0-100mph (Secs) 8.17
60-100mph (Secs) 4.69
Quarter Mile (Secs) 11.97 @ 121.07 MPH
Drag Quarter Mile (Secs) 11.57 @ 125.15 MPH

A little over 0.5 sec on a quarter mile for the extra 100BHP.....not as much of a difference as you would think

Have a read of the front sheet though. Only works on weight, bhp, and drive type.
No input for gearing, weight distribution, torque, drive train losses, traction control / lsd, wheel size, etc, all of which will affect the real figures.

Consequently all the figures I looked at were optimistic by up to a second for the 0-60.

Imho Its a good time waster but by no means of any real value.

True....the guy who wrote the program that works these out admits as much....however a significant number of people who have run 1/4 mile seem too come very close to the figures being quoted.

Mercedes E55 AMG 03 476 1760 274.80 4.33 9.04 4.71 12.45 117.38 12.35 118.68
Wow........I know it feels quick but.....................

Chevrolet Callaway Sledgehammer Corvette 88 880 1665 537.01 3.20 5.23 2.02 10.58 146.24 10.48 147.86

Gulp

If you want the real thing go to www.dragtimes.com.

Mercedes quote 4.7 0-62.5 so 4.33 0-60 is about right

Just notice that Mercedes quote the weight of the E55 AMG as 1835 and not the 1760 on the website ....which would give

Power at Flywheel (BHP) 476
Weight without Driver (KG) 1835
Drive Type Rear Wheel Drive (RWD)
Power To Weight Ratio (BHP/Ton) 263.56
0-60mph (Secs) 4.45
0-100mph (Secs) 9.29
60-100mph (Secs) 4.83
Quarter Mile (Secs) 12.58 @ 116.37 MPH
Drag Quarter Mile (Secs) 12.48 @ 117.66 MPH


Pretty close to Mercedes 0-62.5 time

But just consider how much further that 0.5 sec will take you, at the final speed of 125mph!
