Question for all you Texas Mile freaks
I know there are a ton of 1/4 mile calculators that will estimate your 1/4 time based on HP and weight. Is there something that will do that for a full mile?

I would think that it would be much more difficult to calculate a mile time/top speed since the aerodynamics of the car play a huge roll at the higher speeds/end of the mile.

You are right - it would be a bit more complex. It would could be cool to have the drag coefficient as well at the other variables (hp, tq, weight, etc).

gearing also plays a big role in the mile
