Can anyone recommend a good Quarter Mile Calculator? I was just wondering what my 68 has and without a dragstrip anywhere close, I am not going to find out on the street. The computer will have to do until I get my Camaro to a dragstrip.
Thank You for the help.

I've used this one. Take it with a grain of salt though, I'm thinking that hp ratings mean at the rear wheels not the flywheel. It seems to be more accurate if you think in those terms.

What does your car weigh and whats the run down on your power train?

383, 459 hp, Turbo 350 and 3.31 12 Bolt Posi. Weight 3096 pounds.

Here is what the calculator said:

Your ET / MPH computed from your vehicle weight of 3096 pounds and HP of 459 is 11.01
seconds and MPH of 121.74 MPH

Could this be right? I was hoping to get into the high 12s. This is definitely a surprise to me.

459 FW HP = estimated 359 RW HP.... use the 359 HP and see where you're at.... you used flywheel not rear wheel. :D
