My first php mini site. to calculate speed in gear at a given RPM. its not got divide by zero protection yet but meh dont put zeros in lol. More little calculations will be added as i get time to convert my spreadsheets.

updated the gearbox one to add some extra boxes i found info for.
also the top speed power is added. the cD for the calibra was something like 0.3.. i estimated the nova to be 0.34 etc.
Basically its to give you a clue as to how much power is required at the wheels to overcome drag and hit X speed. you can add a desired top speed and it will tell you how much (roughly) power you will need to do it.
