0 - 60 MPH Calculator
It actually works! Well for about 80% of the cars that I tested.
here is the formula: 0-60 time = (weight of car in kilogrammes)/(maximum bhp of car * 0.9) reference: http://www.cars-cars-cars.org/0-60-Times-Calculator.htm That is just what i found recently surfing the internet. I put some numbers for the SVX, and it turned out to be very close to actual times. That makes me wonder, does having AT tranny really matters? 3580 Lb = 1623.86 kg / (230 bhp * 0.9) = 7.84 s that is only 7% error. from real time of 7.3 s. Ok, this formula looks kind of rigged, so I opened the Car And Driver, and started calculating theoretical 0-60s and practical. It turned out the out of about 10 cars - 8 of them were very close to the specs. The only car that was way out of specs is Forester XT. With calculated 0 - 60 at 7.2 and actual 5.4. So.... my conclusion is... SVX is way too heavy.
