bcl Toughest BA Turbo Lifetime Members 3,408 Member For: 22y 7d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 10/04/05 05:34 AM Share Posted 10/04/05 05:34 AM 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.
