As some of you may recall from the last year or so, I designed some formulas to work out theory performance figures for all road cars by just using bhp, weight and drivetype.

If anyone is interested, I have a very basic "under-development" site running with the correct domain name where you can view about 500 examples of cars and their theory acceleration figures using our formula's, it also includes the Bugatti Veyron!

The pro site is still being developed until the next month or so, where you will be able to change bhp etc and carry out many other functions, including modifications.

Let us know on here what you think of the examples, or e-mail the contact. And don't forget to check letstorqueBHP in the future, cheers......

other than the 5 ton merc with 98bhp per ton, they sound sensible what do you mean by terminal drag?

ha ha, yeah thats been mentioned to me, will get it changed asap, but there's proof that they are using formulas even when we put the wrong weight in, and you can see what a 500bhp "5 ton" rwd car does now!

Re the Drag, as well as a road/tarmac surface 1/4mile with terminal speed, we have included an additional column showing the drag strip time and terminal, the reason for this is that we have noticed a difference between times set on the different surfaces like sticky santapod compared to a normal road. This is more likely to cover highly tuned cars when using the site in the future as compariable magazine road tests are not really carried out on such surfaces.
