Calculate bhp?

[steveblade_uk]

Anyone who is sh** hot at physics might know this.

IS it possible to calculate bhp from a 0 to 60mph time if you also know vehical weight, ignoring drag etc.??

Im sure it is but hey, its been years since I was at school!

Have a cruise around the net (google) I'm sure there's a few calculators out there. From memory there is quiet a few specific details you need, like gear and final drive ratios etc...

Ive got a gtech which can calculate bhp if you input weight, but I did a few 0 to 60 runs before I had weighed the car. At 1520kg its a LOT heavier than I thought! Thats with my butt onboard as well though. I just wanted to work it out for myself without abusing the clutch anymore as this is my daily driver.

I still want to shoehorn the 1uz in. I blame justen! )
