Interesting, need to take mine to a weigh bridge as I have no idea what it weighs now since I have stripped it to its current level.

Simple and fun, but not accurate, obviously. There is a 2 second discrepancy between the 1/4 times produced by this and my software

This one is a lot closer - only 0.5 sec difference.

Cool, bonus points for Waynne. :bigsmile:

YAY! It took a lot of work to arrive at such a simple but elegent solution. Glad we're not too far out then.

Is mine 0.5 seconds slower or faster than the "Real" time OG?

I might have to get mine onto a weighbridge just out of curiosity! I think there is one at the local council recycle waste depot. It would be good to have a rough idea before I take her to the Pod

Slower.

A stopwatch is going to be more accurate

As long as you can find a private half mile straight section of tarmac

Simulation software is mainly used for what-if scenarios. It allows you to play around with combinations prior to actually forking out serious money. The sim software won't be spot on with the ET/mph but it is a great help with such things as gear and final drive ratios.

A sophisticated model with many variables simulated would be useful for this purpose but this one is just a little toy really.

Agreed. Mine has just over 300 variables. I keep looking at the latest versions of a couple of sims, but can't quite press the button to spend £100. Sounds a lot, but how much are Playstaion and X-box games these days?

Doesn't matter how good the sims are, they can't account for my crap driving...lol

So it sounds like you have convinced yourself OG, when are you buying the latest version then

Oh, yes they can Gear change times and throttle response can be adjusted to suit the skill of the driver - Also his weight
