these days (proven)

 

i would say anything over a genuine 650 and the right gearing will see 200

i take it you mean over the brunters distance?

 

in general terms or over a set distance ie 1.25 miles?

 

at brunters

 

my figure i just gave was for a RWD car, for 4WD i reckon about the 700 mark.

 

all complete guess's of course coz i dont know shit

 

No offence to anyone but talk is cheap - what ever car it is....it doesn't mean jack until it has been proven with proper timing gear at Brunters.

Thanks - Sunny.

 

theres proberly quite a few that can do 200 plus,but doing it at brunters is another thing
dont mean thats not proven
mine pulls 7k on the road which is about 170,but even if i left it till the last minute at brunters i would only maybe just about do 160
i hit 156 by the way,but wasnt leaving it to the last minute or nothing

 

Well it ewo t be any of mycars

 

 

less take your time and look at the fooking buttons will you

 

has anyone considered the consequences of making a jellymould sierra hit 200mph?

i've seen vids of cars taking off at 200+ and smashing into a million bits...

what precautions are the top speed boys making to avoid them turning into a human slush puppy?

 

the first time a sierra hits 200 mph galbally
you,ll be the driver and dave esccos the passenger

 

Jaguar F1

 

My car can hit 200mph!! just don't mind the flashing lights behind me
it'll be good see what car does 200mph.

 

Okay Pops daadie will do fron mow on

 

I think you got a sticky '0' key...you sure you didn't mean 20mph?

 

Fook Me Sunny!! you ARE right!! you should do like computer repairs or IT!

 

did 176mph last sunday at brunters with crosswind regeared my car for 207mph at 7000rpm, ruf porsches(600bhp) only pulling 190mph normally 200mph problem with the cossies is aerodynamics ok if you have a tailwind,will have another go soon

 

respect u had a proven go

 

hehe, steal me a porsche someone =)

 

only a porsche??

 

sunnys mates got a ruff

 

dont you mean sunny's mates like it ruff

 

Steve my mate with the RUF 993 Bi-Turbo stopped talking to me after I drove it to the pub at lunch time.

 

I guess you mean on the Bonneville

heres the engine from the rx7 triple turbo


It achieved 241mph, it "took off" before at 220mph before achiveing the max speed

As bonneville is 12-13miles long, noone over here will run into trouble of "taking off" as such because they won't be using such a long stretch.

 

whats that meant to mean you swedish ponce?

 

Karl's will do 200 (atleast) i'm sure of that.

Proof will be in the pudding.

 

Hi
My car will make an attempt on this in the not to distant future.
Have been logging lots of facts on this & done a few calcs.
Mine did 183.3 with circa 470 brake , i believe the following figures will prove to be about right, if gearing & conditions are spot on.
180mph-- 460bhp
185mph--500bhp
190mph--560bhp
195mph--630bhp
200mph--720bhp
205mph--830bhp
210mph-- forget it

Lets say i have the Power, so must now concentrate on gearing & pray for good conditions. Have looked long & hard at gearing & its the only area Mark leaves to me. No point gearing for 200 if you aint got 700+ brake as you will simply run out of road. Always gear for the available Power & max your car out.
Most people are way out with there gearing & i only have to look at the wheel/tyre combo to know they will stick in the 170's (circa 500brake cars)

can't wait for ya attempt Rod

 

I still think aero dynamics should be thought of more in the cossie world! People will spend 30k on an engine, but they won't do any aerodynamic research (i.e. underskirts, rear diffusors etc..

If you got the aerodynamics sorted even slightly you could hit 200mph with under 500bhp...

 

A cossie can go faster than 320 km/h(200 mph) with the right setup and the right aero dynamics setup.
I wonder what the reyland cossie can do when it's rebuild??
Maby martin can make his new reyland cossie better with aero dynamic's!!!

 

ponce

 

Didn't that American XR4ti do over 200mph on the salt flats? Any idea what distance it needed to crack 200mph, what power it needed and what aerodynamic modifications they made (if any)?

 

Rick Byrnes did it in 5 miles I think @ Bonneville.....(XR4Ti)

Phil, just look at the grief you get for removing a spoiler!!! And you're suggesting radical changes

 

lol at billabong

 

MWF-- Bloody long distance (5-6miles i think), was only about 500bhp-550bhp i think, and very little in the way of aerodynamics (well it still resembled a sierra anyhow)

The salt flats are about 12miles long, but the useable non-mushy bit is only 6 or so i think, or maybe the useable bit is 12 and it goes mushy after, i forget

 

Bill, you can't see all aerodynamic packages that much! Just imagine the forces trying to pulll the rear bumper off, they are shaped like a bloody parachute for a start!

 

Phil, I know , was just making the point all the 'knockers' will start to say it's not as a Cosworth should run etc...

Personally, when you're trying to smash records, I think you do whatever it takes.

 

Yes i did
