Kudos "Baconator" , wont be long until your running low 11's!

A 5th gen weighs about 600 lbs so theoretically it should need about 470-480 ish to trap 122. So really you should be trapping 130+. Unless you were running uphill with a modest headwind.

Well since you mentioned weight; TPOWER aka DBLCHBY works with a slight handicap:

They of course can't take into consideration for aerodynamics and drive train losses but the math for mechanics is what it is and that is a known constant. The calcs I ran showed that he needed to be making 615hp for those times so it was fairly close.

Can it calculate if I run a 1/2 track? Im doing a airport run and was curious what my top speed would be?

Of course not! Peak torque assuming he has the factory cam is 4200. A PI (Performance Industries) 3600 would be ideal.

Jesus Kelly I just blew diet pepsi out my effin nose

I trapped 130 at 560 rwhp. Your car is just fat.

Yeah but your car is a unicorn so that's not a fair comparison.

Ummmmm yup did you see the license plate ?

That's where the calculations get far more difficult especially for an auto trans car. Too many variables but you can calculate out the gear ratios and rpms to give you an idea of where you should be "mechanically". At 6000 rpm's in 4th gear you will be at 137mph. I "guesstimate" that you won't be much faster than that as you will stop running out of hp to keep accelerating.

That is cool I will let you know how I made out

Good runs and stick with it and the times will fall.

FWIW my Cobra made 430rwhp and went 121 in 90 degree weather @3700 pounds. That's why I never go by what a dyno says. Plus as nice as these cars are they just don't seem to run the numbers. My WS6 went 114 @almost 3700 pounds with 355RWHP.

I definetly see more test and tunes in my future

Nice Tim, and congrats to the wife on the new car!

Yeah and that's another thing that just doesn't make much sense. The auto trans cars we had back in the 80's through early 90's seemed to lay down the power much better than the auto trans cars today. The drive train losses were less than what we're clearly seeing in today's cars which doesn't make sense with the added technology that has gone into them. I'm almost believing that the converters of old were "flashing" a little higher than what they are now and not slipping as much on the top end. Just a thought...

I know what your saying but the funny thing is that my WS6 was a 6 speed. I just think that to many people get hung up on dyno numbers. The same day that my Cobra made 430 my friends Cobra made 480 plus and the next day I went 11.40s @ 121 on Nittos and he went 11.70s @ 119 on Nittos.
That's why I think dyno are for two things.=
Bragging rights and tuning.
