Heres the latest from a good friend Richard for my car.
It has to be said this is based on high grip levels, a true 300 bhp from the nitrous, a 3.08 diff etc
It seems unbelievable even to me but i also didnt believe the graphs Richard produced for me when i was trying to get into the 11's. He came up with a 'theoretical' 11.6 and guess what?!!!.

Anyway......

It's relatively easy (though time consuming) to knock together something even just in Excel which will do this stuff through iterative calculation and put the results on graphs.

They can be very accurate at moderate power levels but accuracy often depends on factoring in weight transfer and tyre friction limits on more powerful cars - which the package above clearly misses.

2.8 to 60 for a Chim!!! - what tyres must they be?? - as dbv8 says, theoretical and high friction limits!

Nice graphics though.

I agree some of those numbers are far fetched.
I did record a 0-60 in 3.63 last year at York so i reckon a low 3 is possible if conditions are perfect.
York is also using a new track glue recently and there are a lot of PBs.
