neanderthal I knew you would reply again..you just cant accept being wrong can you? The more you reply the more I laugh because you keep contradicting yourself now and its getting very entertaining.
Then you have to try to blame some of your ignorance on soemone named cobra. (I will assume this is Lethalchem)
You say he talked about top speed.....umm no read YOUR posts again YOU said several times that I couldn't achieve that speed. Gotta burn.
Your post about aerodynamics is wrong too. You said an old 60s car cant hit those speeds because of aerodynamics. I already proved to you that a camaro can do 210 and you still argue.... With the right drivetrain set up you could make a bus go over 100 in a quarter mile. Like always I back up what I say so heres the vid.
School bus quarter mile 107mph
Hopefully this thread will be a lesson to you not to disagree with people when you dont know what your talking about.
BTW OWNED AGAIN!
how am i wrong? you have yet to actually prove that i'm wrong. of course,
since i took no definitive stance you can't.
i saw that avatar and assumed the name. big whoopie. go look at my post #185 and 187 and quote for me where i said anything about top speed. in fact find those two words adjacent to each other in either post and i will change my signature to "i know nothing, ignore everthing i say. ps; i got owned by camaroboy69"
i will even save you the trouble of opening another window to look by posting both of them right here.
post 185
neanderthal
120 plus on a long stretch of deserted freeway. at night. that was the only thing preveting me from going faster, going faster than my dipped headlights could illuminate. i didnt want a bambi moment at that speed.
mercedes 300E (2.6)
i really really doubt that a car could go 145 at 3800rpm. im not calling bull****, but i think a 5th gear 5500 rpm would be alot more believable as it takes a whole lot of horsepower to go very high speeds. and horsepower that high isnt usually found much below about 5000rpm. on cars with a 4.11 rear gear. and aerodynamics from the sixties.
of course a .50 overdrive sixth remedys a lot of ills. and doubts.
and of course he could have a nascar spec engine or some beast of an engine that can produce very high horsepower below 4000rpm.
maybe im extrapolating a 150mph+ situation to a <150mph situation where it doesnt apply. what do i know.
then again, my car only has about 150RWHP and did 120 easily. again, what do i know.
and post 187
neanderthal
thats my point exactly. you lose horsepower by shifting to the longer gear. which is why my doubt is creeping into the picture.
your car is decades newer and has a much cleaner aero profile than a sixties camaro so its understandable that yours could do it. and i highly doubt yours has a 4.11 rear end.
mine has something like a 2.82 which makes high speeds achievable, but a 4.11? in sixth? (possible, as you and i have already mentioned!) with a sixties car? :shrug:
show me the quote where i said you could not achieve that top speed. i can show you where i
"doubted" you could and cited several reasons why, but you
cannot definitively show me one where i
disputed your top speed. doubt does not equal dispute.
again, please post demonstrative proof that i said sixties cars
could not achieve very high speeds. i want you to quote verbatim where i used the words, "cannot, can't, will not, won't, impossible" and synonyms to that effect, with regard to cars from the sixties achieving very high speeds.
the gulf between doubt and dispute is vast, as is the one between being a dunce and a dumbass, but i see you have chosen to cross that gulf on both counts. in this (your) case the
smiley is most appropriate. but only because there isn't one for jackass.
this might be a ...... primer, ..... a hint, ...... an indication, that perhaps you should read a little slower and digest the body of the words you have read as opposed to misplace your own inferences on them. or do we need to post pictures to aid your assimilation of basic english?
WHO GOT OWNED?

Ahh. . . the beauty of the Autobahn. . . 
that was the only thing preveting me from going faster, going faster than my dipped headlights could illuminate. i didnt want a bambi moment at that speed.
It's at about 6000rpm in 5th at that point and it really doesn't want to go any faster. The second time that speed was arrived at a little faster because we seriously went downhill. The nice thing about the German Autobahn is that you can just 'cruise' at something like 115mph and every now and then you still have to move over for some crazy mofo in usually a BMW, Audi or Merc doing well over 140mph. 
Too bad my car tops out at 109-110 (indicated)
