I found this page and was wondering if you all thought most of the 1/4 and 0-60 times were right... most of what I saw looked right give or take .2 seconds, but you can give or take .2 seconds just with different drivers so I'd say most of it is good info

The 98 NSX numbers seem a bit off...4.5/12.9 in quarter?

The 90 TSi AWD numbers are off...it should be alot quicker than 8.0 seconds in the 60 dash...and then faster in the quarter...it weighes less than the 2nd Gen and has the same motor...and in most cases was more reliable and stronger

No such thing as a 240SX SE-R

I think the 90 Celica GTS Turbo (the All Trac) I believe was faster than what they say 7.8/15.8...more like low 7's and low mid 15's

[quarter_mile]

skyline time is .5 seconds faster then it really is from what i can gather.

[nacho_nissan]

no,its always down to the track and driver...

[Kurtdg19]

Times can also vary depending on altitude, try to keep that in mind. A high 12 second car at sea level, could be running mid 13s on higher elevation all day.

[Pennzoil GT-R]

yeah the skyline is a little optimistic.

i also think a GTS-R is abit quicker than 4.2 0-60.

[Soyo]

ok cool, not that concerned about it anyways... but pennzoil gt-r I have a question abotu your sig, you do know that bhp mean Base Horse Power right? where you gonna find a skyline with 1000 Bhp? maybe you meant whp for at the wheels horsepower or Fhp for flywheel horsepower... just checking

[Mr Payne]

bhp does not mean "base horsepower"...

[freakonaleash1187]

bhp means brake horsepower. and brake horsepower in lamens terms is horsepower at the wheels. what do u mean by "base horsepower" soyo, if there is such a thing. and i have heard of skylines having 1000 bhp.

[Mr Payne]

bhp does not mean horsepower at the wheels either.

[freakonaleash1187]

then what is bhp?

[Kurtdg19]

actually, brake horsepower (bhp) is the usable power at the engine crankshaft. It pretty much got this name because they first used a prony brake to measure crank horsepower. Brake horsepower is the same thing as crank horsepower.

[s15ilvia]

i always thought brake horsepower was the amount of force the engine exerts on a brake but ive heard alot of different explainations

[freakonaleash1187]

i heard that brake horsepower is the readout on a dynometer. and i have looked at a few definitions and they have said that it is measured at the drive shaft.

Yes a engine dynometer is used to measure brake horsepower. Usually by an electric motor or a fluid coupling is used to create a drag on the crankshaft to find its output.

A chasis dynometer measures drive wheel hp.
