This proves that 0-60 doesnt show much about performance afterall....being your car calculated out to a 4.3 seconds 0-60 while your best 1/4 mile listed in your sig says a 14.39 @100.49 mph with a 2.5 60' I am assuming...
And my car calculated to be a 0-60 in 5.6 seconds with a 1/4 mile of 13.8 @ 104...
I guess I don't get how with such a crappy 60' time and your 1/4 being 14.39 you pulled a full second quicker from 0-60 than I did... I know I suck at driving obviously from the times I pulled at the track but I guess now that makes me feel that 0-60 really doesn't necessarily tell you anything about performance...

He's confused, theres no way that his car calculated out to be that fast with his times listed.

well I just ran your slip in the program and my results came out to be 0-60 in 6.410 seconds... I think you need to try again 
2.517
6.49
9.59
12.204
14.395
Those are all the numbers that are entered from your slip into the formula...
4.5651 29.472
Those are the results in the formula that get entered into the A & B spots.
6.410
And that is the time it comes out to be
EDIT: I figured out your problem...if you open the spreadsheat initially look at the 0-60 time listed in the box....its the time you listed as your time...which gives me the conclusion that you forgot to hit ENTER after entering in the numbers into the A & B slot so it never gave you the NEW recalculated results with the numbers you entered.
