3) The formula’s only use three items of easy obtainable data to produce the figures, these are Flywheel Power (BHP), Kerb Weight (KG) and Drive type (4WD, FWD or RWD). Formulas do not take into consideration other factors that could also affect real life figures, e.g. torque, gear ratios, aerodynamics, air density, temperature etc, these are not easy obtainable.
4) The 0-60 (and 0-100) quote takes into consideration an average amount of manual gear changes. In real life times can vary if an extra gear change is required before reaching the quoted speed.

Those figures are only theoretical. Pretty sure torque doesnt only affect the car up hills
