Fastest You've Ever Gone in Your Car?

[daan]

Is a "road angle" some kind of corner?

enough!

You started it...

 

[Famine]

I doubt it. I've just calculated precisely how much power you'd require to do 155mph in a Peugeot 306, and given you some benefit of the doubt as regards kerb weight.

I'll give you the formula, after you've proven yourself wrong.

Why in god's name did you take the information you made in one post and then re-distribute it among three? (Yes, I saw your original first post.)

because i think pav asked me to.. i'll fix it lol

ok so you no what tyres i have how much hevey the car is what im losing throw the gear box and everything i dont think so i think you might have a ruf idea but noting on pager well work it out i can hit 100mph over 1/4 of a mile at 14.7sec and i no it hits the limter in 6th witch works out at about 155mph

 

[Famine]

Tyres don't matter, Pav - although you'd need at least W-rated to do 155mph. QM doesn't matter either. All that matters is speed, wheel power, Cd and dimensions. Weight comes into it a little bit, but I've already estimated a number underneath the 306 GTi-6's weight to give you the benefit of the doubt. These all give you the resistance of the world to your car. As speed increases, this resistance - and the power needed to overcome it - increases by a factor of a cube.

Your refusal to tell me what crank power you're running tells me all I need to know - you don't have enough power to do 155mph, and you know it. Hell, if you did, that engine wouldn't last long.


And I've gone all this time without mentioning your hilarious brakes. Don't fancy your chances of stopping from your BS speeds.

 

[Pav]

lol well i suppose you're right, they dont last long i went thow 5 last year and as for power i really dont no but a skyline has 280 bhp as standed and that one does 170mph so is he wrong to

 

[Famine]

Different aerodynamics requires a different calculation - and if you think a Skyline (GT-R, one assumes) has 280hp you're sorely mistaken.

Edit: That calculation says that to do 160mph an R33 GT-R needs 250hp @ wheels. To do 170mph it needs 297hp @ wheels. Thus 160mph is possible, 170mph isn't without alteration - which, handily, isn't too hard.

Now THAT is a sentence!

I've been just over 115mph in my friends BMW before. I was sitting in the back and only got a quick glance at the speedo though. Definately not a good idea in my opinion, and as much fun as it is going that fast its just not sane on public roads.

 

[Pav]

well i have read when other ppl put the same eng in thay get 220bhp and my mate with a 2.1 rs turbo is about on par with mine and he got 220bhp at the wheels so lets was it has the same so what does your magic bhp calculater say i can get????

 

[McLaren]

well i have read when other ppl put the same eng. in that and get 220bhp and my mate with a 2.1 rs turbo is about on par with mine and he gets 220bhp at the wheels, so lets was it has the same (WTF?) so what does your magic bhp calculater say i can get????

I'm sorry, but some of that had to be corrected. There's still alot more errors, but not bad.
Look, I've seen enough of these kind of posts and it had to be done.
And what's highlighted in blue, no one else and myself probably don't have a clue what you're trying to say.

Well, hang on, don't they make closer to 320-330 at the crank, and are just underrated? That could explain it.

 

[Pav]

or sorry! i had to tell you im dislexic.

 

[toyomatt84]

147mph : Acura NSX '98
142mph : Dodge Viper '04

Nowhere near enough - and the R33 was unofficially officially tested at 308hp at crank.


Pav - No offence, but the number of times I've seen illiterates claiming to be dyslexic is astonishing. Considering my familiarity with Special Educational Needs, and that use of IT (personal wordprocessors) is the primary method of dealing with dyslexia, I don't believe you.

But this is off-topic. You're English. Many people here aren't. TRY to communicate in proper English.

I'll calculate your estimated top speed a little later on and edit it in.

 

[barryl85]

Yous might not think this is too good but ive had my car at 136mph and its only a 1.4 16v honda civic - with minor adjustments

your write but just so you do no here is a post and look at the lates http://www.spillers-knights.co.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=77&highlight=dislexic

but still i would like 2 no what speed that thing you use says i can get??

 

[Famine]

Actually, I'd like three final pieces of information from you, just to clinch it.

At what rpm is your peak power reached? Associated with that, what is your redline.
Have you ever had it rolling roaded in near current form? If not, are you going on the 220 crank power figure simply because it's close to your mate's?
Aaaaand finally, what gearbox do you have, and what size wheel/tyre combination?

 

[skicrush]

I did 120 in my 1989 Mazda MX-6 GT. At 144,000 miles. Maybe that's why the timing belt broke three days later.
And not my car, but I've driven 130 and been co-pilot to 150. MPH in a 1992 Corvette.

That engine's been bench-tested to 340,000 miles, with only oil changes, with no breakdown. Subsequent examination of the components revealed that the original machining marks were still apparent.

 

[neanderthal]

maybe i should repost my max speed in kmh instead of mph as some people (im not going to point anybody out FAV) obviously are.

thats your dyslexia.

it hits the limiter in 6th at 6500 rpm and he says that 220bhp it at the wheels but i dont belive him. and i have 205/45/17 on

The fastest I have ever been in in a car was 142 MPH in my uncles Dual Turbo'd Toyota Supra (fast as all hell).We were of course on a literally almost deserted highway with nobody else around.I can still hear the BOV and it's sexy "pshhhhhh" sound as we shifted gears.

 

[Joey D]

Well I've been just over the 95mph mark in the Blazer and that was in early rush hour traffic...and yes people were passing me. Welcome to Michigan.

But I have been slightly faster in my other cars that I've owned, never over 115 though since there is a point when it's to fast for me and I lose confidence in me. I know the car could do more but no since trying it.

I've been in cars that have went deep into the 130's, but not much faster then that since more cars can't even get up that high without a ton of power and gearing.

omg and hows many cylinders does it havelolol1!!!!?! and how many horsepowers?! wowsQ@!!11 have you dyno'd it???!1 oh gee wow how many km/h is 142mph??!?!?11

Oh, and what were your tires rated?

[edit]

I wonder how fast rick has gone in his NSX?
