How did you get it so low? Assuming you put in the same engine info as me.

I have a feeling all these time people are posting are fanciful. The stock time is around 7 seconds. To shave off even just a second would be a massive achievement.

^^ My 5th was bang on

I think the accuracy depends on the values entered. For my 5th I used the numbers lifted from my dyno printout. But the more power you have the more you are going to struggle to put it down on the road.

6.7 is believable but 5's and 4's are not, you've have to be running a good amount more power and drag tyres to achieve that in my opinion.

All depends on how accurately you are measuring it of course..

I've modified the page to take into consideration differential type, tyre quality and loss of traction for the launch (dependant on tyre type).

It means a stock run ends up like this;

which I think probably isn't far off as manufacturers do everything they can do get the stock time down

And my modified run is like this;
