Is there a way to see how fast cars are against other cars online?
 

This is what I mean - I'm always curious as to exactly how much 1 second or a few tenths of a second actually mean if two cars were racing side by side.

Is there some type of online program that you can put in a car's power/weight and see how fast it would be against something else? Obviously, there are some youtube videos and you can test it out yourself, but it'd be neat if someone made a program like that with a 2d graphical representation or something like that.

This way we can see exactly how much power/weight make a difference in the rate of acceleration in comparison to other cars.

Will give you hypothetical

You can look up just about any car, and see from Stock to fully modified

Thanks, those are useful - but do you guys know anything like that, plus with graphics? Like two cars rolling side by side or something - just for a visual idea. :D

I don't think there's a program that can account for driver input

youtube and search m5boards/ m6boards -they do side by side racing overseas and there are plenty of comparisons with mbs-bmw's - porsches -ferrari etc etc .

almost every mb will lose to bmw.. no matter what, vikings in Sweden got some extreme bimmers

Ha, yeah I've seen those drag races from Europe/Russia - interesting, but most of the time the cars aren't stock. They usually have like 700+HP or something so they diverge far from what stock cars can do!
