1/4 mi. Calculator--this is interesting!

From nismo.org:

http://www.nismo.org/test/quartermile.html

According to this, if the car's weight is 3,000 lbs. (I have no idea what the Z's is) and it has 290 hp, it can to the 1/4 in about 13.49!

Hey--if that's accurate, I'm a happy guy...

As for weight, the number I am hearing more than any other is 3196 pounds. I also had heard 3096 pounds but that was once compared to six times for the other number, so one might think the 3096 is out to lunch. haha

Figuring 280-300 hp and a car + driver weight of 3400 your looking at 13.9 - 14.25 seconds. Not bad, but I can see a the hazy image of a turbo or supercharger just over the horizon...
