Apologies if this has been posted on here before. Thought the Nobility might like this...

There’s a Noble 2.5 on the list [of course]. It’s interesting to see how it fairs against the opposition

How difficult is it to do your own desktop drag race?
I'll ask my cousin who's a programmer if he can do a simple database. As I don't know all the standing 1/4 mile times i'd use 0-100...maybe even 0-100-0.
Hopefully one of you will have done it before me because you'd no doubt do a far better job

Well the figures for a standard V8S look spot on, shame I can't feed in my new power curve/gearing and see how that performs. 
PM me and when I reply attach an image and I'll feed the bhp curve into CarTest 2000 and let you know how that compares to a standard "S".
Last one I did was Seasiders Griff and the top speed was bang on what he actually did at v-max. By changing the diff ratio after that also found out the true top speed as the standard gearing wasn't optimal.
Given a certain coefficient of friction (there are two actually, static and kinetic (stationary and moving)) it can work out the optimum launch rpm too

You will need to download a small .exe but the result is quite impressive...

Hi, glad you seem to be enjoying my quarter mile sim!
It's not that difficult, though i did use some maths behind it.
I'm actually working on a much, much, improved version, with about 200+ cars to choose from. It will have a lot of new features and a much improved physics model. It's been some time since i updated the current one. I reckon i've got a few months to go before the new version is ready.

Let us know when you've finished the new version - with the 3.0 & M400 Nobles on there too - plus the Autocar stats on the 2.5 Gassing Station | Noble | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
