I'd like to do it in something that was designed for fast.

Since "dreaming" is now allowed...why stop there? The problem for me is at 6'6" and 230 lbs I could barely get my big toe in the F1 car (not that it matters of course)! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

About 128 and change at Thunderhill according to GPS. That was with the 4 cylinder borrowed Dwight Mitchell motor that is destined for Jim Dupree's car...

the front bumper profile would almost negate the effect of a 4" splitter on that white car

6100 rpm, 5th gear, stock 901 transmission gearing, 205-15 tires with a "stock" 4 cylinder 2 liter.
(with a little boost) That was fast for a 914 but I've been much faster in a drag boat. |

I've been close to 150 in mine by the end of the front straight, but that was a ton of front to rear bumper drafting of a 993 and my engine is, um, not stock (84mm crank and 103mm pistons, dual Weber's), for 138hp at rear wheel. Likely had a hell of a tail wind, as I've not seen over 135ish since.

My Speedo is usually taped over at the track, but telemetry is always fun to look at after.
QUOTE(Cracker @ Jul 16 2017, 08:03 AM) Anyone who IS looking at a SPEEDOMETER at over 150 mph - particularity on a track (presumably with corners and other cars) should question whether they should be driving. Just sayin'... T QUOTE(toolguy @ Jul 15 2017, 07:31 PM) "...didn't have time to look at the speedo. 2.o S spec motor" |

QUOTE(tjtryon @ Jul 19 2017, 10:07 PM) I've been close to 150 in mine by the end of the front straight... That's pretty impressive. I have a 225whp Honda Civic 6-speed that I raced at Daytona, and I was only able to attain 149.3 mph across the tri-oval, while in the draft (per GPS-based data acq). QUOTE(tjtryon @ Jul 19 2017, 10:12 PM) My Speedo is usually taped over at the track, but telemetry is always fun to look at after. Amen. I don't look 'til after. I don't want to know. |
