Want something cleaning Dave? If so, just give me the post number to delete from.

 

178bhp for 200mph

 

Mine has 540-550bhp and will do 205mph

Best of luck with your project

 

I can do 200mph on my BMX so you dont need much BHP ,,,lol,,

 

Dave,

I guess it depends on aerodynamics.

Some cars can do it with 500 bhp iirc.

 

ROFL

 

The shit i had this moring went atleast 210mph, left a little track in the pan you know...

 

Hayabusa only has 178bhp to do 200 so the rest of you make it sound like hard work

 

I fully expect this thread to be atleast 3 pages by the time I get back this afternoon

Should be a good read

 

4+ is my guess...

 

Well said!

 

i reckon an escort cossie could crack 200mph easy.......just need thrust SSC to tow it

they are used to that anyway??

 

What gets me is MadRod going on like the Reyland car aint shit,LOL

Listen,the Escort is a rally car bred for downforce and going fast around a forest,the saff is a taxi designed to get people from a to b as fast as possible LOL hence more aerodynamic,with RWD and the same power and lighter the saff will be faster,to get that Escos to 198.7 mph was amazing considering its a fooking rally bred car

 

Does it count if I get my mate to do 200mph in my car? Or better still I'll get Martin to do it!

 

you couldnt even tow yours across the line at the mo...

 

Think martin has proved that his car is capable of doing it despite what rod says

 

 

I tihnk the last page of your resto thread needs to be cut and pasted onto this topic Dave

 

How gives a.....

how many locations in the UK can you do 200mph.

My dicks bigger than yours

 

Its all about aerodynamics. The force required to overcome the drag at those speeds increases exponentially with every extra mph. Weight has very little to do with it apart from the speed of the initial acceleration which may give you a couple of metres more on the confines of brunters

If these cars were run on an autobahn etc i'm sure we'd deffo be seeing some of the numbers we all want

 

Fuck off mine LOOKS like it could smash 200mph pish easy!

 

Dream on Sunny....

 

if i use the original rear diff off the 3dr its geard with the T5 and my tyre size to do 203mph!

but i really cant be fucked, so it wont

 

one could just keep adding nitrous

 

And gained about 5 stone by all accounts!

 

pmsl

how do you get the smile's to work

 

yes

&

Yes too GayBoy

 

mind you, you just gain 5 stone anyway....

Just to confirm - 996 porsche turbo owner - 550 bhp and 205 mph - which is awesome and I am a big porsche fan, was considering a 996 recently.

One thing, u won't be hitting 205 in the confines of brunters on that much power. That is what we are using as the measuring ground. Loads of cars with less bhp that Martin's n rods can do 200mph - not many of them can do it at brunters... which runs out very quickly at 150mph - so can only imagine how quickly it runs out at c200 mph

i would imagine a 500bhp saff with correct gearing and long enuff piece of road could nudge 200mph.

 

the escort cosworth is also based on a road car shell - not specifically designed for rallying like the rs200, so calm down dear

 

Agreed! You should consider one mate, they are awesome! I've rounded it up actually I think its 203 mph

 

Hi Dunlop -

Yeah - I did consider one as it’s the next logical progression from the M3. Only issue I have is that I drive my M3 19k miles every year JUST to and from work. Add personal miles and its more like 30k miles. That really de-values expensive cars. Plus I tend to go for it, top speed wise every day. Getting spotted at 168 is one thing (and shitty bad news it would be too!) but getting spotted at around 200mph would be curtains and get me a record that I don't really want. As such the M3 just strikes me as a great balance of practicality, value for money and under cover performance…

I'd need to get the 996 as a second car - or more much closer to work!

I'll get something sorted but not for a while yet

Cheers!

i think dave needs to be a bit more specific with his question

"in a road legal car how much power do you need to get to 200 mph within the confins of brunters" would be better

otherwise you get dragged into the "areodynamics" vs "p/w ratio" for the inital acceleration off the line" all the way to "i do it wearing cardigans"

 

thats not what i know, it was designed for international rallying first and road car second,
the standard road car shell is not much like a escort cos, and the reyland fella is pushing
that car way beyond what it was designed for.

 

you could say the same thing about sheady's plans for rods engine

 

186 bhp on a 10R... and 700+hp in a big ole bath tub lol...

Tea and Hobnobs time.
