Ive just downloaded a performance silulation from the internet.

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'

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?
