Cheers mate. I got 0 - 60 (Secs) : 4.48, 0 - 100 (Secs) : 11.72, 60 - 100 (Secs) : 7.24, Quarter Mile (Secs) : 13.17
I don't do it at all and I now it pretty pointless. Just curious to see how my car would fair theoretically against a porsche or a bemmer.
Thanks for the calculator though.
Is the reason the 0-100 of a wr1 is about 10.7 because of the gearing?

The times that these journalists get sometimes are because they abuse the car's more than any "normal" driver will.
They will do endless amounts of launches with specialised drivers until they get a time which suits them. If you gave your car that much abuse you may get a better time than on the performance calculator as that is just a good estimate.
If you come up against a WR1 on the road or at the strip, there may be in fact nothing in it...

Do these figures look right for a 1993 WRX Type RA with only mods being a paddle clutch and exhaust system on 16`s ?
