One of the Pulsar guys of old made that site :lol:

That calculator is just a general guide, it's not to be taken as gospel obviously because despite bhp and weight being used as the main factors, things like gear ratios aren't taken into account.

I like using that tool to work out BHP/Tonne and compare it to other cars

Probably not far off in all honesty, 0-60 is probs a bit optimistic and 60-100 under

Terminal Speed (MPH) : 117.23
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.61
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 121.28

1/4 would seem about right if it was mapped right and the clutch didnt slip, the 0-60 is about 1sec too quick though
