Re: You have to love to drive it!

The bonneville guys have an online calculator that uses weight, drag coefficeint and frontal area to calculate hp required to get to a certain mph. Don't have time to look for it but I used it with the one you have to see what it would take to get my 64 Chevelle to 160+. That takes the Corvette to truck difference out of the equation.
