Rear-wheel drive is more correct I do believe. But the program doesn't seem to account for drivetrain loss. It nails my quarter mile time correctly with 200 at the fly but says my car with 161 stock would do a 16.7!

it doesnt account for tq either, nor gear ratios. Both these things help the stock turbo outperform a hp vs. weight calculator. I bet this thing favors hondas.

I'm on First and First. How can the same street intersect with itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe.

lol. I said it would help you ESTIMATE your quarter mile time, not get it. and yes, it does not factor in drivetrain loss, nor torque.

I can't get anything to be very accurate. When I enter in the cars weight as 3300 lbs and desired 1/4 time at 14.4, which I have gotten, it says I have 278Hp...I wish. When I enter in the same weight and estimated Hp, which I believe is around 240, it says I should run a 15.1 at 97 mph. I only had a trap of 93mph. If I lower the weight anymore, the trap speed starts to get outrageously high 100+. It might be a little better with an AWD option.

You car shouldn't weigh that much. It should be about 3050 + your weight (and that's with a full tank).
