Just an interesting site for all those who want to work out there theroretical 1/4 time.

Remember, add the weight of the car, driver and fuel in pounds and the engine hp (not Kw).
(weight calc is here: http://www.worldwidemetric.com/metcal.htm )
It seems relatively accruate however it has some errors as it says an AU XR6 VCT should be quicker than the HP, which of cours, it's not.
Mine came back with:
Car weight: 3681 lbs.
Horsepower: 230 hp
Configuration: Rear Wheel Drive
Results
Quarter Mile Acceleration: 15.917 seconds.
Terminal speed: 92.8658 mph.
