I have to say torque would be the single most important factor in there, that as well as Drag CoEf, Rolling resistance, etc, etc,

A very broad simulator, but not great when you want to look at the effects of different power curves, turbo lag, gear ratios, gear change speed grip levels, wieght transfer, rolling resistance etc etc.

I use a web based javascript similator that I can replicate my santapod timeslips to withing 0.05 seconds (all the way up the 1/4, so 60ft, 330ft, 1/8mile, 1000ft and 1/4mile).

agree but power is important too have to say these calulators are a load of crap in my opinion, there are some much more complex ones out there that take all of the above into account too but they are very complex and time consuming i'd rather just get down the strip and see what it does with myself driving.

but for a laugh this would be a time for when i had the stock turbos on

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 400
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1450
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 280.29
0 - 60 (Secs) : 4.27
0 - 100 (Secs) : 9.44
60 - 100 (Secs) : 5.17
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.47
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 114.95
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.37
