OFF topic, math ?
Sorry guys to go off topic here....
Can someone please tell me the HP required to accelerate from 120mph to 130mph, in 500 feet, with approx 750lbs of weight?
I assume that 120mph is 176feet per second. Should take less than 2.5 seconds to go that 500 feet....
Please don't ask me to explain why I ask!!!! Long story.....
I hope someone here would have an answer!!

LOL!!
I am pretty sure there would be a generic calculation for what I am asking, regardless of drag, etc!!!!! LOL!!
Just like those qtr mile calculators!!

too bad the quarter mile calculators are FUBAR. Just like the people who use the 3 second rule to find 1/4 mile from 1/8th mile times.
