Dragging my own thread back up here but I have a question about terminal speeds.

Why is it that I can have such a high terminal speed of 128 mph @ 12.6 and Forevaford does a 117 mph @ 12.5?

I assume he gets better traction with less speed and I get worst traction and make it up with the extra bhp hence the higher terminal.

But Scoooby Slayer has a whooping 900bhp and does 134mph terminal which is only 6mph faster than my 516bhp.

Does aero start to come into it at a certain speed?

Cheers Rich
