Hey guys..been doing a bit of searching but I can't find a calculator that is very 'real world'.
I'm trying to find out what top MPH I can actually expect from the car based on weight, coefficient of drag, tire diameter, rear end ratio and RWHP. Does anyone know of a web-based program I can use? If someone has one of these calculators already, could you pm me and I'll give you the figures....I appreciate it!

Thanks....they're all basic calculators based on RPM, tire dia. and final final trans ratio. I'm just trying to figure out what actual top speed might be with HP, weight and coefficient of drag taken into account. Great site, though, I added it to my favorites.

i have seen one somewhere.... i think it was a boneville salt flats site, you could put int all the factors stated and it would get you close to top speed.

that really doesnt help much i know.... but it atleast gives you someplace to look.
