Default I need a good calculator

Hey guys..been doing a bit of searching but I can't find a calculator that is very 'real world'.
I'm trying to find out what top MPH I can actually expect from the car based on weight, coefficient of drag, tire diameter, rear end ratio and RWHP. Does anyone know of a web-based program I can use? If someone has one of these calculators already, could you pm me and I'll give you the figures....I appreciate it!

i have seen one somewhere.... i think it was a boneville salt flats site, you could put int all the factors stated and it would get you close to top speed.

that really doesnt help much i know.... but it atleast gives you someplace to look.
