Default Need geek info!!!

O.K. Dahlback, and K&N have helped me beat my neighbors SS silverado.....Just one more to go, my friends stock 2000 M5. Do any of you know the formula for figuring vehicle weigh/b.h.p/w.h.p/to 0-60, or so times?? Also, why not a M5 Avant awd 6 spd???, or better yet a U.S rs6 Avant 6er..

Default Eliminating the M5's weight-to-hp advantage

is easily done with a simple boat-anchor attachment; maybe RMcQ will loan you one now he's done boating for the season.

Default Sure I could help level the playing field.

something like this attached to the back of the M5 might give you an edge:

Default I googled "automotive calculators". The truth is out there.

http://www.camaroz28.com/services/calcs/

http://www.cobranet.com/calcs.htm

http://www.73-87.com/convers_calcus/calcus.htm

an example:
Engine horsepower required to reach MPH in quarter mile (HPq):

HPq = (0.00426 x MPH) x (0.00426 x MPH) x (0.00426 x MPH) x WEIGHT

Note: understates HP required at speeds exceeding 100 MPH.
Note: assumes engine HP must be 2 x the HP required at drive wheels.

Example: What engine HP is required to achieve 110 MPH in a 3200 pound vehicle in 1/4 mile?

HPq = (0.00426 x 110) x (0.00426 x 110) x (0.00426 x 110) x 3200 = 329 engine HP
