Default ET calculator

For a bit of amusement does any body have an et calculator so I can compare theory and actual times?

ET's are very hard to predict with accuracy because there are so many veriables. That doent seem to stop anyone making them. Here are a few I pulled from a goole "1/4 ET Calculator" search

Car weight: 3000 pounds

Wheel horsepower 337

Flywheel horsepower

Horsepower:

1/4 Mile elapsed time = 12.073 : Not in this life time !

We will see the truth tomorrow night :
