Default RE: I found this handy 1/4 mile calculator. All you have to do is to input your car's weight and horsep

Nice find, but as Patrick said too many excluded variables. Futhermore, the quality of the tires, airdynamics, consistency of the horsepower throughout the powerband, let alone the torque, etc. These tend to provide answers in a theoritical world, which often times are found to be false and way off. But oh well, its fun to compare different outputs anyways. Plus anyother thing to remember is the fact that many of these engines are underrated, the question then is do you use the real hp or the rating to compare one car that is overrated to a car that is underrated.
