Just how many Fords have tried/achieved 200mph
Its just the general package, its not just a power race, but suspension, aerodynamics, and the like. Tyres etc.
I thought it would be a good base for a discussion, I was wrong
as a rough guide, to do it in a saff cosworth you will need 700bhp to achieve it, this can either be done with a big turbo or nitrous or a combination of both.
suspension wont make much difference but being lower to the floor helps aero, just taking the wing mirrors off will be fine.
Tyres should be fine but then as you see with martin, get a bad tyre and it goes very wrong.
my thread talks about 200mph a fair bit if it helps
