Free Performance Simulation

Ive just downloaded a performance silulation from the internet.
http://www.richmondgear.com/01cartest.html

Its quite a bit of fun and seems to be quite accurate. It will calculate acceleration times to a given speed/distance.

You just input a load of parameters such as gear ratios, power, weight in and it will plot your results.

A nice feature is that it has loads of cars already in it and you can drag race your car against them.

Hope some of you may find this useful.

all I got was 'Error Initialising Cars'





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Looks pretty good, only had a quick go so far but it seems pretty accurate. Anyone know where to get data such as drag coefficient for 7 type cars?
