7 Idea of a very accurate 0-100kph calculator - based on 0-60mph and 0-100mph times put together

It is very hard (in fact) for an American car to have 0-100kph or other metric acceleration times, and even for old British cars like the McLaren F1, you could really only find its 0-97kph (0-60mph) time in place for 0-100 (0-62).

I just invented this so you guys don't keep thinking how fast it would for a car to sprint to 62 rather than the easy 60 (for American and most British cars).

Here are some examples, specifically those from the 1990s:

McLaren F1 (618bhp)
3.2+(60/3.2)/(100/6.3/10)/62.14

Result: 3.39 sec (oddly, it's still listed as 3.2 on the F.L. page for the car)

Chevrolet Impala SS (260hp)
6.5+(60/6.5)/(100/17.9/10)/62.14

Result: 6.77 sec

Ferrari F50 (513bhp)
3.8+(60/3.8)/(100/8.5/10)/62.14

Result: 4.01 sec

Solution:
0-60mph time+(60/0-60mph time)/(100/0-100mph time/10)/62.14

100 kph = 62.14 mph (two decimals w/rounding)

DISCLAIMER: The calculator is about 75% accurate; don't expect these results to be exact in real life.

EDIT: Car pages often have 0-100(kph), 0-200kph and 1/4-mile times listed altogether so they could show how the cars match the competition in those areas, like car x did 0-100kph in 6.2 s, car y on top does it in 6.1, etc.

Brabus 700 MB G63s 4x4 (700hp)
Max speed: 160 kph
Acceleration 0-100: 7,4 s

Yeah, I can't find a verified 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) time for the McLaren F1, only the 0-97 kph time, and that is between 3.2 and 3.4 seconds. I'm guessing the 0-100 should be kept because Acceleration Times needs the page, which reserves 0-100, 0-200, and optionally 0-300 kph and 0-100 mph.

Like, who does that? Brabus? @abcdeghi Lmfao!!

@uptownfunker
are you saying that it takes .2s to reach 60-62mph?most of the cars have 0-100kph same as 0-60mph
and some of the countries use 60mph=100kph and some 62mph=100kph.

Yes because we all know how hard it is to calculate 60 to 62mph......I though it took like 1 minute and 14s...

This site posts confirmed times. And there are plenty of them. We don't need guesstimate figures from you thanks.

Let alone some cars are geared for 60mph but need to switch gears at 100kph.

Please shut up
