There's:

-Horsepower
-Torque
-Weight
-Gear Ratios
-Traction
-Tempurature
-Humidity
-Driver skill

to take into consideration. But it's still a nice lil' tool to get an idea of what you could run
And a little thing called Drag coefficient. For example if it takes a '91 Crx 600hp to get down the track in 10 seconds, it would only take an Insight 400hp to achive the same feat.
