i mean with higher HP youre typically adding weight with engine parts, turbos, coolers, etc...
i know it may not matter since its just a simple equation for fun purposes but just a thought lol

Take a look at the spreadsheet I put up in my thread.
These values are calculated taking into account weight (I had it set at 3300 lbs), wind resistance (assuming 0.30 CD) and the torque curve of our cars. What I did was took a stock dyno chart and then scaled it up to get the desired peak hp's. Again not entirely correct but I believe is a valid assumption as typically the TQ curves are just magnified when adding boost.
To add to my other post.
Time from 0-160
640hp = 12 s
550hp = 14.3 s
500hp = 15.85 s
450hp = 17.9 s
400hp = 20.5 s
350hp = 24.2 s
300hp = 29.7 s
Again just based on the math.
At speeds such as those weight really plays very little in determining power to overcome resistance at those speeds.
