If a GTR reached 237mph with 1048bhp then the maths say you would need 630bhp to reach 200mph in the same distance. It means you are looking at 217mph with 800bhp. We must put this to the Test at Brunters
Im sure a mag shoot could be arranged or maybe a Vmax it would be a great day.
My old girl would require 900bhp to get to 214mph but im prepared to give it a bash.
That would be a great 70th birthday bash.
Seems feasible mate, stage 4 gtrs are about 630 hp and I'm sure hit close to 200 at brunters, I mentioned torque aswell as hp is peak numbers but a constant sustained 900+ lbft should help keep pushing harder longer surely?
