Yeah, yeah, you've all seen it before, put plug the numbers in again and see what it spits out.
Then I put the numbers in for the Sylva - these are much more accurate. Very accurate actually. Woohoo !!
In time honoured fashion, your turn.
Just done my old Cosworth and the figures are pretty close to what it actually did at Bruntingthorpe. Unfortunately I no longer have the print-out from Bruntingthorpe as it went with the car, but quite enjoyable reading.

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 528
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1340
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 400.36
0 - 60 (Secs) : 3.50
0 - 100 (Secs) : 7.23
60 - 100 (Secs) : 3.73
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.57
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 126.51
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.47
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 127.94

The Integrale is closer than I thought it'd be according to the following

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 332
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1291
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 261.29
0 - 60 (Secs) : 3.98
0 - 100 (Secs) : 10.36
60 - 100 (Secs) : 6.38
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.65
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 110.50
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.25
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 114.20


Why don't you own anything this awesome anymore?

:-(

The last reasonably quick thing I owned was the TT Sierra 4x4 Estate.

That's not a good state of affairs.
