I don't know how accurate that can be- Subarus often have low ETs without high trap speeds. Meaning, they are quick off the line thanks to the beauty of all wheel drive. 2WD cars with more power will run similar ETs with slower, traction limited 0-60 times.

Actually, since it takes into account both 1/8 mile speeds and times, it's very accurate regardless of drive type. Mine calculated within .05 seconds of the reading on my g-tech pro. The beauty of mathematics.
