Hi Brian what top speed will it have. Should go to the salt flats next year ,sure 60 minutes would do a story on 400kph falcon.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

400kph falcon is a good estimate.

My spreadsheet gave me the following based on my current tyres:

At 7500 revs:

341 kph with 4.10 diff

375 kph with 3.73 diff

404 kph with 3.46 diff

Salt flats, I never really considered it, sounds like a lot of effort.

Current power figure is 581rwkw (more next week), so it should pull a good top speed. Pity I don't live in NT.

Maybe that could be our first national event, at the next speed trials

can't imagine what the aerodyanmics would be like at 400kph :laughing:

I know Brian has monster stoppers,but it looks like he will need every bit of them.

I am with Julian, the APS car at 307 was all over the runway at Avalon, at 400kph you would need a new aero kit to give you enough down force to keep it on the road!

It is coming along great Brian, congrats on the numbers you are finally getting after all of this time.

Maybe a BA Supercar aero kit will help for a top speed run hehe.

It'd add about 200kg of downforce overall, but where would you pick one up?

I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard. Ford would probably help out to get some publicity out of it :laughing::spoton:
