Guaranteed not to be.

These don't fully model drivetrain so can't compensate forgear changes.
Nor for tyre footprint size, slip, deformation.
Or power band
OR a million other things in the real world.
A VERY few try to do all these, but end up asking you a hundred question and remove all the fun !!!

Sorry, UK, a bit of fun, but useless

Mind you I think Koenigsegg and Bugatti may have been using i tto get their 1/4 and 0-60 times recently

F1 cars weigh 600 Kg which is 1300lbs. That gives 7s for the 1/4

dam i was sure that i had heard 600 but wasnt sure, suppose when you think about it 600Lbs is a bit light weight

Yeah, obviously this wasnt intended for accurate timing, as you said just a bit of fun.

[werty]

well i didn't think it was fun...it just shows how slow i am

anyways i know its not accurate at all ,but i am supposedly running 15.1

According to this thing, my dad's Ford Taurus (completely stock and such) should get around 17.16 seconds (about 3,300 pounds and 155hp) and my future (at least, I hope my future) 1988 V-8 Fiero with a ZZ4 GM crate engine should be about 12.61 seconds (about 3,000 pounds and 355hp). That actually doesn't sound too far off from what I've read on the 'net from people who have done similar conversions.

[fpv_gtho]

i got a prety close answer..i put in 350hp and 3958lbs for the XR8 and got 13.9, in reality they get about 14.2 straight from the factory, and with 10,000km's on the odometer ive heard of people getting 13.8's

[SilverArrowZ]

lol i'm getting 21 second, i can get faster than that...

This calculator unfortunately doesn't work too well for very extreme cases. Wally Larson's LE-1 GroundFighter's best real-life run was an 8.6, largely because it couldn't get traction for basically the entire 1/4 mile. This calculator says that it should hypothetically run a 6.1

[AKlingel]

Yes!!!....... the Intrepid should run about 17.19!! lol I love my lil 3.3L V6
