some of you might have known about this. but for those that don't, here it is. it's fun to play with. it'll give you a round-about estimate of your cars power. of course it will not be exact, but it's fun to do anyway. i just type the weight of my car and start typing in HP numbers until i get to what i run at the track :D. this is a good one for projects that you plan on building, too. post up your numbers.

Tiburon: 2900lbs + 210 flywheel HP = 14.7

Steam Hammer with HP numbers that are very very easy to get from my swap and the weight reduction...
BMW: 2500lbs + 320 flywheel HP = 12.1
350 flywheel HP = 11.8
375 wheel HP = 10.9 :eyebrows:

yeah, it's pretty close on average. i did an 09 CTS-V and it was a few tenths off what i see people say they run in them...

4222 lbs + 556 flywheel HP = 12.0

i love this calculator :D

That was kinda cool and depressing all at the same time. It was pretty close tho. I need some mods.
