Dan (Renton) gave me the original figure after a run and after the following run I was told that I hadn't done the 200 but didn't ask what it was, I have just read through all the figures while repling to Rods homo comment on Yums resto thread.
Btw your wheels will be with me in about 2 hours
Will post some pics.

I remember them saying when they took the macca f1 up to topspeed that they could have dialed out any toe in/out at the front to reduce friction. Couple of basics like that would more than likely get you your 1mph. I don't know how they would effect the graph and tbh I really like the fact people are able to forecast speeds based on bhp and acceleration curves however every little bit helps. Have you had any thoughts about when you would like to go back and try again?
I often think a cold morning is best as the air temps are idle, however, I think that a warmer day has thinner air (could be utter tosh, im trying to think of logic behind that statement) and that means higher air temps but lower resistance againsnt the body work.
Hmm...
1mph to go!
good luck

where are the comments?
as for the 0.2 mph extra, it all counts
i mean, it could have been you were doing 199.9 mph and then 200.1 mph, it would have meant a lot then
still can't believe it's used as a daily drive to potter about to and from work in

Happily retired
You lot asked for this they are correct by the way.
To get from 198.7 to 200 requires 1.96% more Power so thats 13.15bhp on 670
To get from 198.9 to 200 requires 1.66% more Power so thats 11.11bhp on 670
so Martin just gained himself 2.04bhp in his quest for 200mph meaning less boost is required.

Thats far to involved for me.
Well Done Martin, keeps the challenge alive im sure

) that drives a cosworth over 200mph, and takes all the abuse he gets on here. Lots of people throw their toys out a long time before Rod even thinks about for much less abuse than he puts up with.
