0-60 & 1/4 Mile Calculators

With all the recent talk about both of these performance figures, I found these fun little toys. Now obviously they're not exact and don't take into consideration different gearing and other variables, but they give a pretty good estimate of your cars performance and something to shoot for. I had some fun with it.
I think we have to add a full second to quarter mile time due to DA/Elevation. This are probably based on below sea level like all the magazine numbers/figures.

I believe its pretty accurate. 15-17% drivetrain loss to the wheels.

I believe its pretty accurate. 15-17% drivetrain loss to the wheels for rear wheel drive.

ive calculated mine a few times,and according to what people are getting to the wheels with a v6,its more like 28% loss. 250 flywheel hp,getting 180 hp the the wheels.

I would figure at least 23% loss
