BCL has MUCH larger tyres than std, but I do not recall the actual size. Working it out on std rubber, with the 0.63 top gear and 4.10 diff and a 7500 rpm limit, it would do [7500 /(805 x 4.10 x 0.63)] x 100= 360km/h. (And it WOULD do it). Ben.

(I.e front becoming airbourne would be an issue) Adam Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31190-running-past-250kmh/page/6/#findComment-479574 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerodynamics are certainly the issue, as the air tends to get under the front of a std BA quite badly.We have a customer who has cracked 320 in a VTII sedan, (and lived), however VTII on FE2 is VASTLY more stable at speed than a BA XR6T on std suspension.

That is about 260km/h. If they can do it, I cant see why the Modern XR6T cant do it.Scotty Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31190-running-past-250kmh/page/6/#findComment-479945 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure someone will soon officially punt their T to a new Oz record.In my younger days I may have had the Gabozators to go that speed but 220 in my old girl was fast enough for me and I doubt I'll ever see it again.
