Weight reduction is usually the cheapest and best option. Trim the weight by around 240lbs and you'll be hitting a 10.48 second 140mph time.īreaking the 10 second barrier in this car will need around 1100bhp and 1000lb/ft of power - so quite a big hike. For a lighter car the power figure is lower but for a heavier car the power requirement goes up.

So let's take a look and use a fairly sophisticated simulator where we get to play with a lot more variables and actually get an ET speed as well. What about when we use a more sophisticated model? While for a lightweight option, such as an 800kg Lotus 2-Eleven, you would only need around 320 bhp at the flywheel.So for a relatively heavy car of around 1600kg, such as a Supra or GT-R, you would need to aim for 740 bhp at the flywheel.
For a 10 second car we recommend the following ratio as a good starting point :. Please also note that traction is also a big issue so we have assumed higher power figures are RWD/AWD only, an 800bhp FWD car is going to have such large traction issues it will barely move at first. We are also assuming street spec tyres, super grippy drag tyres will dramatically improve your quarter mile time! Transmission losses are typically around 16% to 25% so we are working on an weighted average for each power band. Due to the varying nature of transmission losses results in our calculator will vary - we are working from flywheel horsepower in our calculator.
