I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
this calculator
http://www.web-cars.com/math/qtr_mile.html
works out that a 900kg ( 1980 Ib ) car will need 430bhp to hit 10.508 in the quarter at a terminal of 140.6614
hope that helps

Lee is fastest RWD at the mo 11.43 & hes been trying for some time to get in the 10's. He has circa 600bhp. Im always being told mine is just a Topspeed car, well a 10.5 sec rwd Cossie would just be a Drag car, its more difficult to combine the two with the limitation on Tyre widths etc.

If Lee had Danny B's old backend he might be there by now?

If you MUST try and guess from calculations that arent accurate, get hold of cartest.exe, at least that takes more things into account when its guessing, like the aerodynamics and exact gearing.

So a Cossie with 430bhp can reach 140mph in 10.5 secs if you lighten it wow I want to see that. Kevs Escort was near that with around 600bhp & all the kit but dont know of many others. A rwd with 430bhp would struggle to reach 100mph in that time 
. Come on lads show me the reality of these feats not just calcs.

Chip - not competing you plonker. 
Rodders - You do have a point, as I said the terminal sounds a little too high however Chipper does have a point about you being in constant cossie gear.

lmfao at the calc used above
my astra does a 12.6 second 1/4 at 121mph and had a 2lt turbo with fmic and a chip set this is a proven 280bhp spec
it also had 100bhp of nitrous
my astra was around 400 bhp
the calc above thinks that with 257bhp i will do a 12.6 @
and with 400bhp a 10.8 @137mph
i think its safe to say that calc is SHIT

Crazy stuff, and TBH just proves what Rod was saying earlier about dedicated quarter mile cars, NONE of these cars would be any use for anything else.
For novas as a "proper" road car still (as in daily driveable and handles ok etc) 11s is pretty much the limit TBH
