I'd be up for it some time. Would be a good laugh I reckon. Not something that interests me to do more than once though...

Doesnt interest me in the slightest tbh.
Costs of fuel for the drive up, sitting waiting for a run, risk blowing clutch...
Id rather do a half day at brands as its 15mins from me

Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 14.69
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 95.23
That's about normal isn't it? I don't feel you guys are giving the weight difference its recognition perhaps?  |
something doesnt seem right here, it says 14.7 seconds to 95 mph (quarter mile), but 0-100 is 17.01 secs, so does that mean it takes 3 seconds to get from 95 to 100?? when it takes 7 seconds to get to 100 from 60??
a bit confusing, there is no way that this can be accurate because it doesnt take into account gear ratios etc, like there should be a gearchange at about 85mph on a 16v box, so from 85ish to about 125 is 4th gear all the way??
the program is probably good for a rough guidline to your cars performance, but just buy an iphone and use dynolicious, thats a killer prgram.

Yeah, I had no idea it sounded like that! Was awesome. Raspy little bastard!
Has that given you the motivation to start losing some weight out of your car?
