Like it.

But if i replace the 4 wheel drive with rear wheel drive, the 1\4 mile time is the same and going off, "losing power due to transmission loss"....is it accurate?

Without taking torque curve and gear ratios into account it cant really be accurate can it.....?

Not bad, but also doesn't take into account gearing.

For example, most cars can make 60mph in 2nd, my WRX needs to be in third - the extra gearchange must cost some time!!

Say if you tap in some stock numbers, for example, an mg zr 160, weighing only 1070kg unladen, it has 158bhp, that acheives 0-60 in 7.23 or sumthin on the website, and the manuf. quoted 7.3, it really is not that far away if you tap in some different cars!

Quarter Mile (Secs) :
12.52
Terminal Speed (MPH) :
112.70
