Latest R&T had a (quasi) formula for the (much discussed) bhp.
                          3
bhp= (mph/234 )   x weight

Applying this to our cars in a 110mph quarter (assuming 3900lbs.) would
convert to
405 hp.  or 506 @ flywheel?
Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering if anyone has a quarter mile time
they'd like to report?
