"Invalid Entry : Power must be between 70 and 700 BHP" that pretty much rules out 98% of standard minis

That's a bit silly, doesn't take into account traction, aerodynamics, gear shift time, gear ratios etc.

Why on earth would it ask for flywheel bhp rather than wheel bhp? Its pretty optimistic, my mx5V8 had 370bhp and 0-60 was around 4.3, that calculator said 3.6 or something.

I think it is an optimal one- i.e. what your car could do if the gearing was made for 0-60 and had slicks on etc.
