speed calculator?

Anyone know if there's a speed calculator type thing where you input weight, bhp and torque and it give you a rough estimate of what your car will run in the 0-60 and 1/4 mile?

That would be cool, but probably way too many variables to actually calculate...Air temp, Fuel used, track conditions, reaction, driver ability and so on...Maybe you could get a REALLY ROUGH estimate though...

That ET calculator is fairly accurate, and varies a few tenths of a second (I compared Road and Tracks 1/4 mile results with what the calculator said based on hp and weight). I wonder what kind of powerband they use too. Either way, my car is mad slow in the quarter.
