This weekend, I was asked to help the Factory Five Cobra folk to determine
how fast their cars could go given flywheel horsepower or conversely, how
much horsepower would it take to go a certain speed. In the process, I added
a write up for them on my web site. I wrote a dinky Excel spreadsheet, using
Office 97 version of Excel that can solve for speed given horsepower. Or
horsepower given speed (which by the way is far easier to do!). I have
zipped the Excel file into LSRTS.ZIP for your downloading pleasure: it is
only about 20Kbytes soit does not take long. Unzip, open excell and use it.
I would be interested if you find it informative or even useless. To get to
it: Cobra Analyses http://www.teknett.com/pwp/drmayf/cobra.htm and

May the force (horsepower) be with you and that these things actually work
