The
rankings are be based on 1/4 mile times and
horsepower. In the event that two cars split the
horsepower record and the 1/4 mile record, 1/4
mile time will always win out. A good old
fashioned race trumps a computer read out any
day. A video of the run, unedited from beginning
to end will be necessary to determine 1/4 mile
time. BHP (brake horsepower at the flywheel,
what manufacturers state as a car's horsepower)
has been determined using the universally
accepted 15% drivetrain power loss rule. Since
we know the stock Delorean has 130hp and the
original top speed was calculated at 109.983
mph, we can dertermine the new top speeds with
the industry standard calculation of added
horsepower: ((New HP/Old HP)^(1/3)*Old Top
Speed). Those numbers are in italics. Of course
any modification of the stock suspension, etc.
will improve this number but for our purposes
everyone is judged with the same formulas.
The
1/4 mile race trumps every, single, one, of
these numbers.
They are included simply for ranking purposes
for those who have not yet taken their car to
the track.
Here's the
ranking so of the 8 owners with either a
video
of 1/4 mile time
or video
or graph of dyno reads.
