The calculator has no way of knowing that your car is the fastest and most powerful 335d ever made and that it is quicker in a straight line than a Porsche Cayman S (provided the Porsche driver was blind and physically restrained in such a way that he was unable to change gear).

The one I posted is actually amazingly accurate, given the simplicity of the data.
I can see the merit really if you want to compare cars or consider the possible impact of tuning. If you have a look around the site they have a list of derived performance data, which really does reflect relative performance quite well for petrol engines. http://www.letstorquebhp.com/rwd.asp It does fall down when it comes to diesels though, because the power delivery is obviously not the same as it is for a petrol engine. |

I would like to see that happen, in reality it would not have the traction to achieve a 2.7 0-60.. even with that power to weight ratio.. and being a TVR would probably break down half way up he strip... Joke. Thats the thing with these ''calculators''. One hell of a quick car tho. Wonder from 70-170 what would win, remember the veyron has PILES more torque than the speed 12 also. Even if it has less P2W Carlos
