Bob, Interesting observation and not that far off the mark. Approx top speeds on the flat for a 1600 in street trim (950-1000 kg) 100hp 160 kph 150hp 180 kph 200hp 200 kph 250hp 220 kph 300hp 240-250 kph 400hp (probably disintegrate at about 260kph)
For comparison Skyline R31 Silhouette Turbo 300hp 260 kph Soobie (STi Apexi club spec) 280hp 275 kph (i.e. damn quick) regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bob Sent: Monday, 29 April 2002 10:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Targa Entry and Rules Depends on how much power you have, air friction would be your worst enemy, the ammount of friction in air is roughly dependant on the square of your speed, so to get from 180 to 300 you are going to need about 2.5 times as much power just to cut a hole through the air. That is just from a mathematical standpoint, I have never had a car that could touch 200 so I could be talking shit :) Sunday, April 28, 2002, 11:03:05 AM, you wrote: --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
