<<The point?  This is all just basic physics.  You have to know your weight
and gearing and guess pretty good at things like frontal area and drag
coeffiecient for this to be accurate.  If you've got a chassis dyno
plot to compare against, it's pretty easy to figure the unknowns in.>>

You know, the "Car Test" program has over 900 cars in it's database. It has the
gear ratios, test weight, coefficient of drag, and the surface frontal area. It
can be a good program to compare/contrast different vehicles and their
performance.

Examples:
          '98 Chevy Camaro SS
          3510 lb. test weight (w/ driver)
          .34 Coefficient of Drag
          22 sq.ft. Frontal Area

          '92 VW Corrado SLC
          3000 lb. test weight (w/ driver)
          .32 Coefficient of Drag
          19.4 sq.ft. Frontal Area

          '97 BMW M3 Dinan
          3440 lb. test weight (w/ driver)
          .32 Coefficient of Drag
          20.2 sq.ft. Frontal Area
