I've made a quarter mile simulator - hope you enjoy it!

Quarter mile simulator (21k)

You select two cars to race and then press play. It's based on actual performance data and currently features 23 cars.

Wasn't too sure about the Chimaera! The one near the top of the list is taken from data published in the Bible (0-60 4.7 etc).

I've added another one at the bottom based on Autocar's readtest (0-60 5.2 etc) - probably a bit more realistic.

Demonstrates just how fast our TVR's are! Check out the Enzo though

Good work, least I know what not to race off the lights

Would love to know who wins out of the Chimaera (autocar) and the Skyline.

Will try to get the speeds and times done tonight.

If anyone has any ideas how to make it look better, let me know. Was thinking about replacing the boxes with small photos of each car taken from the side.

Excellent, i get the Civic done tonight.

Bridgdav, ideally i'd need more data (0-30, 0-40, upto about 0-110). However, with a bit more maths i could get a pretty good estimate (especially if i knew the gear ratios - is it a standard T5/SD1 gearbox?). I'll see what i can do
