Performance Calculator

I'm probably getting confused and was thinking dry weight. Kerb weight is the one that includes all the grease, oil and a half tank of petrol?

I weigh 75 kilo and I usually have less than a tenner of petrol in my car <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

<br>
1065 kilo, if oil is a kilo a litre.... 9.79 to 60 with 110 hp <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Oil is more like 0.9 kg/l (and petrol).<br>
<br>
75 kg? Is that after you've jumped in a lake with your clothes on?<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

What an image!<br>
<br>
Does iron oxide weigh less than solid metal?<br>

I was looking for another book I have to find out the weight, but came across my Dolly Sprint Handbook.<br>
<br>
Weights (kgs. approx.)<br>
Dry - basic = 976<br>
Dry - inc. options = 990<br>
Kerb - basic = 1019<br>
Kerb - inc. options = 1033<br>
Gross vehicle weight = 1375<br>
<br>
So ther you have it. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

rust should weigh more than iron since it has oxygen added to it. But since rust usually consists of holes, I'd guess it's about even. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Exactly! An Aero weighs less than a Mars bar.<br>

What is your 0-60 then? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

I think Daz has proved a point with the calculator, whilst it is reasonably accurate for 'normal' cars when you get to something extreme its way out of reality.<br>
<br>
I don't think the calculators takes into account the law of diminishing returns in performance when you increase the power of an engine.<br>
<br>
e.g. Uprate a Sprint engine to 180BHP and you'll probably shave 2-3 seconds off the 0-60 time. Up it to 280 and it wont be anywhere near 2 seconds quicker again.<br>

i have timed mine to a 100 and it was 6.4 sec<br>
That was the only time i have run it at full chat felt like the body was going to snap ,<br>
I will try it with nitrous when im feeling brave <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Bloody hell. That's just mental.

<p></p><i></i>

[LewisK]

That is indeed, mental.<br>
<br>
If you need someone who's got more metal than brains I'd be willing to pilot it for a nitrous run <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
Do you straight shift or use the clutch? Either way, 6+ seconds to 100 is bloody lunacy! I'm dead impressed! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->
