I have to apologize for the lack of any 2008 models on the database. My wrist was injured from all entries for the 2007 models. It has healed sufficiently that I can add new models now but I need to take it easy and won't put 500 on in a week like last time. I have started with BMW as it seems to be the most popular and things are going slow. I should have the entire 2008 line in the database by Spring. Thank you for your patience.
I also want to promote my brothers site, www.hotrodsman.com. He has put alot of work into it and there is alot of cool stuff starting to be added. So if you are someone with a CNC type machine and want some files take a look.
I have added a drag racing simulator to the extras section. Please enjoy as this program will remain free of use on this site and will be updated with new fetures as time permits.
Power to weight ratio is the most important factor in determining a vehicles' ability to accelerate. Horsepower is a good indicator as well but can be deceiving. A car's weight, or better yet, mass becomes a large factor in the performance of it's acceleration. A car that has a mass of 2500 pounds and 250 horsepower will beat a car that has 400 horsepower and a mass of 4100 pounds. A good example is the LOTUS Elise, having 190 horsepower, would beat a LEXUS LS even though the later has 380 horsepower.
