[W126 Coupe] question for dan landiss

[Shayegan, Richard]

Yeah, I figured that would be the case. IIRC Renntech has a piece of
software they use that can estimate acceleration. I was just curious
cause by using your spreadsheets I see lowering a euro 500 engine in my
car with a mosselman supercharger, something that would be much cheaper
than lowering a euro 560 engine, let alone a euro 560 engine and a
Koenig specials supercharger, would get me a top speed of 157mph at
5300rpm and I wonder what kind of acceleration times that would get.

Sorry, way too many variables! My 1967 Camaro would vary several tenths 
in the quarter mile just from different launch techniques. It also turns

out that not only the ultimate horsepower, but more importantly the 
torque, must be accounted for; and that is not constant across the RPM
band.
