Ever wonder
how fast your car will run at the dragstrip? Do you want to experiment
with performance upgrades without spending money? Curious how your
car stacks up to your competition? With PC HOTROD, you can
answer all these questions and many more. You
can experiment
with unlimited chassis, engine, drivetrain, and wheel specifications.
PC HOTROD shows you the comprehensive performance calculations
for your vehicle. However, PC HOTROD doesn't stop at charts
and graphs to
helps you optimize you car's performance.
You can race
your car at the PC HOTROD's virtual
dragstrip at distances ranging from 1/8 mile all the way to
5 miles! You can see and hear your two choices actually staging
at the lights, leaving burn-out at the start and racing to the finish
line. During the virtual race you get to see each cars gauges showing
rpm, speed, distance, reaction time and trap speed.
You can virtually
spend hours playing "what if" with this software. This
intuitive program lets you plug in so many variable that you'll
have a hard time pulling yourself away from the computer. This program
was developed by a Miata owner who has a MP62 on his '99. So there
are already several Miata profiles setup for you to use. Just adjust
the profile for your car, save it and then go hunt down some prey.
You can also put in any car profile you want if you have it's specs
and then save it to your computer's harddrive for future comparisons.
We find the
program amazingly realistic and have dialed in several of our cars
with the actual dyno numbers we achieved on a DYNO JET. The results
are amazing realistic especially if you adjust the driver reaction
and skill levels to be more accurate.
The screen
samples below show how a MP62
Stage 3 '99 Miata compares to a Mustang GT. This is a common
car that likes to harass us at the lights. Plug the cars into the
virtual dragstrip and see how the Miata just
walks away from the Mustang and see the difference in ET
and trap speeds.
Sweet!
