Clearly something is not right in the calculations (or the 0/60 time I was given by a mate). The Fighter does 0.60 in under 4 seconds and has 525HP, weighs 1540 kilos and has a CD of 0.27 (i think) which you could use as a benchmark for your figures. The 411 weighs about 1800 kilos. I don't think drag is a very significant factor at lower speeds as wind resistance squares with speed but weight and traction definitely factor in. What do your numbers come out at for acceleration at 600hp? Presumably the torque curve also impacts on the 0/60 acceleration more than power?
