Seems to be reasonably accurate. My TR7 loses a whole second to 60mph when i include my fat aris in the weight box!

Unfortunately, I don't know my BHP. I do have the time slips from the drag strip though.[}:)]

This calculation needs to include drag & air resistance to make it more accurate http://www.forum.triumphtr7.com/topic.a ... C_ID=10892.

Amazing how much extra power you need to gain 1 second & how a few extra kilos affects performance. Why is it that midg ... er, little people haven't cornered the market as race car drivers?

They need massive seats to get a decent view outside the car,
and than they probably can't reach the pedals [:p]

It doesn't say how it's calculated, i'd imagine all the variables are factored in. Little people kind of have haven't they? they're all around the 11 stone mark it seems. You don't see a horizontally challenged pie monster running straight past the salad counter to the all you can eat buffet before jumping in a F1 car do you?

I must have my 7s better trained.

They never go anywhere until I get in to them

Works with the horses too, they wait for me to get on.

Now why can't I get it to work with the bl##dy dogs.

Without any variables input for drag etc it can only be using an average.
