    I actually posted "real" numbers and here's what I got:

    "Your Mitsubishi Lancer GTS 2008 weighs about 3310 pounds and can complete a 1/4 mile in about 16.65 seconds. That means that you've got about 141.73 HP at the wheels, and about 184.25 HP at the flywheel."

    Doubtful! :?

    What have you got? A Hummer?
    The CVT GTS weighs around 3100 lbs, with me inside, add 200 lbs. Hence 3300 lbs.

    Where did you get that 160 seconds idea. I wrote 16.65 seconds! :?

    EDIT: Oh! Sorry! Just reread your post. I first though that you said I ran 160 sec. :oops:

    I figure that the stickers I put on it give me at least 15 hp. I'm going to go and buy 25lbs of sand this weekend so I can port and polish the head. I figure that would be good for an additional 5mil hp. :D

    well acording to that you should expect around 17.5 seconds 1/4 mile time in stock form which seems believable considering the weight. I'd probably hope it would be between 16 and 17 seconds in real life. Considering the claimed 0-100kmph time ( 0-60mph ) of 9.5 seconds for the manual and 10.5 for the auto. You'd probably get to about 120 kmph if your lucky so about 16 seconds would be fair. But im just throwing around rough numbers, but i think the calculator is a little on the less than optimistic side.
