I'm sure this table can be adjusted and I’d be happy to take on any recommendations and add them. Anyways bit of fun perhaps give it a crack. I’ve taken the liberty of adding a few members quoted figures in just to start the thing rolling. I’ve seen all these massive figures quoted in the past and was just curious to see how a simply calculation verses the time would fair out! Interesting to say the least!XR6 Turbo.com drag calculator V1.1.xls Edited 02/06/10 06:59 AM by tab Updated attachment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See how it pans out then! Interesting concept though hey? Edited 18/05/10 01:43 AM by RHR No need to quote above post. USE FAST REPLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sitting down with my poin dexter mate tonight to work on it so things like MPH and 60ft'er I guees should be thrown into the mix. All the replies and suggestions are great and hopefully soon we'll be able to have this table/calculator sorted so that it really is a good indictaion on how well or poor your 1/4 is compared to your power output!

Needs a fair bit of work, I need to run a 10.2 with my 338rwkw to match you haha dont think so. Also a 15 flat with a stock 220rwkw car and you are andra god, hmmmm.I like the idea though.
