Those are not reliable at all, for the reason mentioned below. The "HP" spec doesn't tell you the whole picture, or even close to it. The calculator is probably based on a typical power curve. The Aero power curve is much different. Imagine a car that makes 50HP at 2000rpm, 100HP at 4000RPM, and a max of 250HP at 6000rpm. Then imagine a car that makes 100HP at 2000, and 200-225HP from 3000 all the way to 5000. Even though the second car has "only" 225HP, it will KILL the "250 HP" car in a 1/4 mile. How does the calculator account for that? It can't.
