horsepower calculator

hp calculator


heres my results:
HORSEPOWER RESULTS: Your rx8 weighs about 3186 pounds and can complete a 1/4 mile in about 14.49 seconds. That means that you've got about 206.98 HP at the wheels, and about 269.07 HP at the flywheel.



i got my info from motortrend: 1/4 mile:14.49 and curb weight 3029 + my weight 157

It is so thorough in the information it requires in order to make an accurate judgement. Makes the dyno all but obsolete...

To expound, it ignores too many variables and something with their numbers is screwy, put a WRX in there and it says it has 225WHP and 293 at the crank when it's actually more like 170ish/227, that's a HUGE difference. That calculator is absolutely useless.
