CarTest 2000 is an automobile maximum acceleration computer
simulation. The program uses the specifications for an automobile to
mathematically accelerate the car from a standing or rolling start
until maximum speed is reached. The simulation is time-based and event-driven.
That is, the acceleration times are not explicitly calculated but, rather,
time progresses at small increments and the usual events that take place
during acceleration: clutch dump, wheelspin, shifting, etc. happen in proper
course. The acceleration times are arbitrary milestones that are reached
during the car's response to these events. Please click the 'Features Tour' button
for more information.

CarTest 2000 can display some interesting pastelized background images. These are photos taken from various car shows,
museums, and concours events. These are not required for the program to run but they do enhance the look of the screens.
Click the 'Images' icon to access that download page.

The database file is continuously maintained with data corrections and the addition of new vehicles. CarTest 2000 users can
upgrade to the current entries in the distribution database (2391 cars) at any time through the online database update function in the software.

You can download a limited function demo version. This is limited to 10 selected cars in a non-changeable database with access
to only a few of the car data specifications or model parameter data fields. All of the analysis functions are available. You must
still have the current version of the Java Runtime Environment properly installed for the demo to run. To execute the demo,
double click on the CarTest2000Demo shortcut icon placed in the CarTest2000Demo subdirectory.
Use Windows Explorer to access the directory.

Also available is an on-line demo configured as an Applet. The Java Runtime Environment
is also required for this demo.
