I'd love to know how it calculates terminal speed without having information on the frontal area of the car and the drag coefficient...

[rick.spi]

did u have a look at the 0-60's and drag times lol...

[01smartc]

To be fair, my one was quite accurate, it would not accept 536kg which is the weight of my car but I put 600kg and its all about right.

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 176
Weight without Driver (KG) : 600
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 298.04
0 - 60 (Secs) : 4.64
0 - 100 (Secs) : 11.62
60 - 100 (Secs) : 6.98
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 13.06
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 106.01
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.86
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 108.02

(Not sure how my drag strip terminal speed can be higher than my terminal speed?)

Where do i put the diff ratio?..lol

[Paul Wiginton]

I already knew my power to weight is 349bhp per ton but it wont accept the 450 kg that my car weighs

lol... its a bit raw but its a fun little gadget.

[MarkGTT]

Not far off to be fair... much better than most calculators out there!

Hahaha!
I put 100 bhp and 500 kg and it got 203.6 bhp per tonne?! Can't it do 100 X 2 ?
