Depending on how bad you want to win, who says you have to measure it?
Why don't ya just buy a book with the statistics of lots of cars?
Maybe ya get lucky.........
Then if ya need evidence of how you came up with the answer, just jot 
down a few equations as previously described and there ya go!~

My solution is what NOS is to Street Racing.... :)
