Just enter your bhp and weight of the car and it will give you 0-60 times and other info too. Im not saying its exact but might be a rough guide. Take a look

Just checked this against some cars listed on the ford site with exact weight and bhp listed and comes just near perfect times as ford have listed.

PMSL....


Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 320
Weight without Driver (KG) : 950
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 342.25
0 - 60 (Secs) : 4.30
0 - 100 (Secs) : 9.68
60 - 100 (Secs) : 5.37
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.58
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 114.02
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.38
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 116.15



Hopefully I under estimated bhp and over estimated weight, (I went by what it says on the site, but added some extra due to cage, wheels and brakes etc), but something to aim for



Nice though
