So if i acheive 450 bhp how fast would my car go at :-

(235/35/17 rear tyres 205/40/17 fronts..that is the correct rolling radius)

A-Brunters

B-Very long stretch of road

How do the manufactures arrive at there top speed?I take it using B??

 

170 Brunters.

175 Long road. Depends on your power curve .

 

They do it on a Rolling Road then factor in the drag of aerodynamics of the car. That's what I heard anyway.

 

Mike..thats BOLLOCKS.

As you claimed with your 450bhp (395 @ wheels proven) that you could do 190 plus What RPM would that have been and could your car pull it?

How can adding 250 MORE BHP only acheive 25 more MPH over a std Cossie?

I'd say a T4 turbo would be better for top speed over the MD.

 

Try out the M2 junction 3 - 2 london bound (bluebell hill to strood)

Its all down hill and 4 lanes wide, its a well quick bit of road.

 

Why not just go and spend some time getting the fooker running instead of sitting on here dreaming

 

I like the section of the A1 near peterbourgh thats mental on an open clear day


Mike

 

top speed is just that... top speed, not "top speed within the confines of brunters"

why would manufactures quote speeds LOWER than the cars can actually acheive? lol

 

Spadge...its being done at my leisure..waiting for parts to arrive at the mo.

But be sure it will be finished soon....so many decisions to be made.

 

Mike..thats BOLLOCKS.
That's what you think . I KNOW what it takes to achieve these times

As you claimed with your 450bhp (395 @ wheels proven) that you could do 190 plus What RPM would that have been and could your car pull it?
When you car achieves 395bhp @ the wheels at the same point in the power band as mine, then I'll change my views .

How can adding 250 MORE BHP only acheive 25 more MPH over a std Cossie?
Because it is not JUST about power, it is WHERE that power is made . And because drag resistance increases exponentially and so the power has to as well .

I'd say a T4 turbo would be better for top speed over the MD.
I agree with you - hence my predictions .

 

Phil lad pointless question cos 1
you will never try it out at brunters ao anywhere elso so why ask mi lad ?

Only top speed you will do m8 is on the playstation

 

Tim..thats why i asking the question as i wont ever do it..

Its all about the pub talk...bit like your mentor Karl...
