it was pretty much dead on for the euro quater mile (a bit over 15.5 seconds based on a 3000pound weight and 190hp) + 25hp saw the car getting into the 14's - hopefully I/H/E + lightweight flywheel and sports clutch will do the trick

I calculated my old known 220HP@wheels for my SSS with 2000 pound weight and got a 12.92. I actually got a 13.24 so that would be damn close seeing as I had a lot of wheel spin off the line.

My new 270hp@wheels with same weight has a 12.07 so I think 15's with slicks are going to be exciting...

ED Civic: 1850 pound with 120Hp@wheels is a 15.41 which sounds pretty damn close to what it feels like.

I used the sss to demostrate that it was hp@wheels not engine.

It is under the 2100 pound mark in track trim(no spare tyre, remove sunroof glass/rear wing/rear seat/15" VZ-R N1 rims) with RTA listed road weight being 1040Kgs.

1040 kg is 2292.81 pounds + your weight
2100 pound is 954 kgs + your weight

LOL you guys. Thats MY WEBSITE :p. I was just viewing statistics and this link was in there.

Just a little something I found to add to the site. Not entirely accurate, but yes, it must be taken from the wheels.
