JeffC Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 anyone seen one of these before?? a calculator to work out your accelleration... check it out HERE it came back with some quite impresive figures if it works out somewhere near Quote
GuyH Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 LetsTorqueBhp.com Good grief. Mind you, there used to be a furniture shop in Kilburn called Sofa-So-Suite. And I passed a truck on the way back from Scotland in February with "Pork Pie-oneers" written on it. Quote
JeffC Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 my busa must be overweight!! says busa should be 430kg ..... with full tank fuel, and dry sump on corner weight scales mine came in at 490kg but noticed by reducing the weight of the car by 50kg doesnt have a massive effect on speeds and times...

I've done with a 6.2 according to my GTech but it is my car so I do treat it with respect and don't dump the clutch from standing starts. Would be surprised to do a 5.2 and a sub 14 sec 1/4 miler. Added in the figures for my V70 and it came within a couple of tenths of the book figures and within half a sec of what I've recorded so not bad just for a maths prog. Quote
ChrisG Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 A rather simplistic "calculation" I think, according to that there would be no difference in your acceleration figures whether you had a 3 speed auto or a 6 speed sequential gearbox, not to mention chinese ditch finders against slick tyres, aerodynamics of a housebrick (aka Caterfield) against a very slippery thing etc etc. Quote

It's gloriously optimistic if I put the info in for my car. Quote
Coxy Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 Love it, in the front wheel drive sections it even has figures for Monte-no-go and Maestro turbos, so its all quality motoring Quote
Matt Seabrook Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 But Nick Chris your are missing the point of a p***ing competition its got nothing to do with accuracy Quote
ChrisG Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 OK then to add to the p1ssing contest, its interesting how close a 160bhp R1 BEC gets to the 300bhp turbo barge, thoretically of course Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 160 Weight without Driver (KG) : 415 Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 391.73 0 - 60 (Secs) : 3.53 0 - 100 (Secs) : 9.56 60 - 100 (Secs) : 6.03 Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.97 Terminal Speed (MPH) : 111.87 Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.87 Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 113.25 The turbo busa cars like Baz's will be interesting though!
