750 hp quarter-mile times by weight
| Race weight | 1/4 mile ET | Trap speed | 0–60 (RWD) | lb per hp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,200 lb | 8.34 s | 163.5 mph | 1.80 s | 2.93 |
| 2,600 lb | 8.82 s | 154.6 mph | 2.05 s | 3.47 |
| 3,000 lb | 9.25 s | 147.4 mph | 2.30 s | 4.00 |
| 3,400 lb | 9.64 s | 141.4 mph | 2.55 s | 4.53 |
| 3,800 lb | 10.00 s | 136.2 mph | 2.78 s | 5.07 |
| 4,200 lb | 10.34 s | 131.8 mph | 3.02 s | 5.60 |
| 4,600 lb | 10.66 s | 127.8 mph | 3.24 s | 6.13 |
750 hp is hypercar-level power: figures usually seen in factory flagships and serious tuned builds. These numbers come from the ideal-traction formula, so treat the quicker end of each range as a best case.
The estimate uses the widely published Patrick Hale equations: ET = 5.825 × (weight ÷ hp)1/3 and MPH = 234 × (hp ÷ weight)1/3, with weight in pounds and hp measured at the crank. They are documented, along with the more conservative Huntington (6.290 / 224) and Fox constants, in Stealth316’s horsepower / ET / MPH calculator notes. See the full formulas and sources page.
What weight does 750 hp need to run a certain ET?
| Target ET | Max weight at 750 hp | Trap speed |
|---|---|---|
| 14.00 s | 10,413 lb | 97.4 mph |
| 13.00 s | 8,337 lb | 104.9 mph |
| 12.00 s | 6,557 lb | 113.6 mph |
| 11.00 s | 5,051 lb | 123.9 mph |
| 10.00 s | 3,795 lb | 136.3 mph |
| 9.00 s | 2,766 lb | 151.5 mph |
For example, 750 hp is enough to run a 12.00 second quarter in a car up to 6,557 lb, and a 10.00 second pass at 3,795 lb or lighter.
750 hp compared with 700 and 800 hp
At 3,500 lb, going from 700 to 750 hp saves 0.23 s, and going on to 800 hp saves a further 0.21 s. Gains shrink as power rises because ET follows a cube root, so the same 50 hp is worth less each time. At 750 hp, the 1/8-mile ET for 3,500 lb is about 6.24 s at 112.0 mph.
The power-to-weight of a 3,500 lb car with 750 hp is 4.67 lb per hp, or 472 hp per tonne. See all horsepower comparisons.
