It is what it is. On paper and in life. Its math. If there is enough power to reach that RPM, then that is what the car will do. Yes I know there are variables, wind weight etc but again, if you have the power to over come them, the top speed will be exactly what is says it will be on paper.

So If I can get my car to turn 6500 rpm in 5th gear, I know I will be doing approx 178mph.

Also, where in CT are you doing these high speed runs? Mexico sure is along ways away!

50-150 in 5th will take forever!!! Then I can already see everyone saying "why did you change gears? see it made your car slower"

Lmao.. I'm farrrrrr from a cop. We have some really good stretches out here. 150 really doesn't take long to get to so ill post a vid in a few. Ill do a 50-to the top of 5th run. I'm kinda curious my self if I can break 160 in 5th

Mathematically, that shouldn't be happening. Have you verified your speed with GPS?

Haha not another one of those. Shifting gears of course. 50-150 is what a bunch of exotics like to roll race

He has 3.55's in the rear. So mathematically thats exactly what it should be

Well u u proved me wrong.. I was able to get to 165 before I had to let out for traffic. Got to about 6k 165. It was hard to really pay attention and my camera woman was have some trouble but ill let the vids speak for them selves. Lmao. Ill try it again on a sunny dry day

Sob. Does anyone know how I can upload a vid from an iPhone 4? Keeps telling me its invalid

Youtube does not allow iphone videos over a certain size without the format being changed. You'll have to have it coded to an .avi or something to that degree. Apple uses some type of video format that youtube does not like. It is annoying.

Ill find someone that knows how and post em up.. Or I can text em to some one if they don't mind helpin

Here is the vid. Car sounds sick man! The way it ripped through 2nd gear makes me think it could do an even lower gear no problem but it may affect driveability down low. Vid quality was a little low I think it was compressed when sent as a message.

Kudos for ignoring any real calculations.

Yeah beotches, read the bible for all your 8.8 ****!

You want a brick front end for good ground based aerodynamics.....

Yes, the chart/calculations are a baseline, but you will be fairly close.....same with ET calculations...

Dawg! I have to meet you as you post some of the most insanely crazy ****. Math is where it is at. Then you go to the track and get results. Period.

This!

Really? Come on FL, calculations are for base lines and planning, that's it. Without people ignoring the "real" calculation(personally I have never seen "fake" calculations, we would never had pioneers in the racing fields.

20 years ago people would say you were crazy if you said we would be running insane times on a 275 tire.

On the flip side, I just got a new differential book and found some VERY interesting info on the 8.8.

I am going to post it in the REAL 8.8 thread.

Well my math came to a conclusion with a proven result. So kudos to you sir, for living up to your name.
