You can make numbers say anything, right Mike?
Plug in Andy Koss' Sportec dyno numbers (439HP) and what Marc just ran with it (S4wannabe) and it's pretty damn close.
If you use these calculators to ACCURATELY estimate HP, you're deranged. They're there to give you a ballpark, not a number to wave in front of people on an internet forum like so much prickwaving.
By the way, how's your 500WHP paperweight?

Plug in 3200 lbs and 330 hp and it comes out 12.4
now that is way off for a 3200 lbs A4 that makes 330 hp. Off by about .8-.1 second. Plug in the same weight and 400 hp and it says 11.65. Now show me an A4 that has ran 11.65.

What paper weight are you talking about, maybe if you got out from under that rock
you would know that my car is driven every night and it was drivien to the huge SOCAL gtg last weekend. Unless you dont believe me you can ask the 1000+ people that were there watching me drive in and again back out of the show.

The ET portions of those things are not nearly as close as the HP part...
SOOOO many more factors to figuring ET. A 500 WHP RWD car could run 11's or 13's depending on the tires they run.
