Well I punched in a buddys time and power and it was lower by almost 1 second. The guy has an 89 Daytona with approx 500whp, car weights 3400lbs and so far hes only managed an 11.9. Granted thats not at sea level and its a fwd car.

but yeah there is too much thats goes into getting a good run to trust some calculator on the internet, still kinda cool to play with.......like 600 hp on 100lbs car. lol. but like i said too much comes into play: wheel/tire size, tire pressure, fwd or rwd, altitude, yada yada blah blah etc etc........

if i had a better reference for friction coeficient i could optimize it to the grip of my tires but this still doesnt take into acount wheel hop i get if i realy lay into it from a start.i obviusly havent done this to often as the dif still works knock on wood but once or twice just to see what she would do
