Having been to the flats and talking to the drivers I can tell you that despite the fact you have both 5 miles and 8 mile course's,you still need the horsepower to get the speed!

Do some research before u question my reply, there's actually a Sierra merkur that has achieved a higher top speed than that at bonnerville.

Rods would melt at WOT over multiples of miles
The two cars are designed to perform in different environments, both impressive but in different ways
#18
im not saying its not impressive but for me the in gear pace of rods is more impressive if you think other wise then that's your choice!

im not comparing the too the original post hints that as do others I know both cars play a very different game and the speed said car has done is very impressive I just find the in gear power of rods more so that's all!

the car has been tagged as the fastest 4 door saloon, not by me but by figures
its got nothing to do with rods sierra, at all, no hint of it.
i wasnt aiming my last post at any single person, just a general post
should have not bothered as its not Cosworth or BMW related
wont happen again

What has this got to do with mine totally different distances. I have to go & stop in 1.5 miles. Certainly mine has the Power to hit 236mph on the gas in circa 3 miles if it held together. If i was in that game Mark would have supplied me with an engine to do it. Mine is simply a road car that goes fast not a Topspeed car that was built & designed to run over longer distances.
My gearing has to allow incredible accleration to 200+ to actually get up to those speeds. Given a 3 mile straight, gearing would be vastly different.
Mine is a compromise I have to pull 1000rpm over peak Power to have the
accleration to reach record speeds if i could have 1000rpm more on the gearing i would be hitting 236mph + at peak power . Doubt Mark would want another 40secs at wot so its purely accademic.

Really good video's the second is better as the noise of the car is better than the music in the first.
The bit that fascinates me is the engine traveling at those speeds and surviving - what's going on regarding outside air, cooling etc as that turbo must be pumping serious heat out.
Plus that parachute looked a little dodgy when deployed I thought it was gonna spin

What I said was 100% correct, your car is not designed to cope with the heat of a WOT topspeed run over multiples of miles

it actually hit over 260 mph ! awesome really if you watch video 1 about 4 minutes in he pulls the shoot what must be over 250 mph and the front end gets out of shape !
much respect for an awesome achievement

Is the chute mounted wrong or something ? A chute is supposed to be a safety feature, not something that can cause a car to go out of control.

id say due to cross winds and severe lack of grip on the salt surface, thats why the chute tugged the back end out of shape on take up drag
doesnt seem serious in the vids IMO
dont get me wrong lads, if anyones got any more factory body 4 door cars post em up!
what about Aussie Commodores or Falcons etc?
must be some flyers out there
