Its not the outright speed, its you need to get there quickly, only have 1000m. I got to 255kph limiter with 236rwkw and it had more to go. Car was really stable at that speed, BUT it takes a lot more power to push through the air to go say 280,290,300. I reckon I could hit the limiter in 6th given enough road, which would be over 300kph, hey APS did it back in 2004 with 329rwkw and went 307kph. I reckon I could beat that.

That's why I like to look at trap speed for various turbo taxis down the 1000m

 

So with ~320rwkw I got 230 and Torque app logs show it wasn't sitting pegged at that on the limiter, I doubt I'd have gone any faster even with the limiter removed, I was still gaining speed after the 1000m ended (never brake until you are a second past the final marker just to make sure!).

 

Mike has about 370 or 380rwkw IIRC and he trapped at 238.93 - only 8 higher than me with at least 40 more wasps!  Or over 13% more power (and same tuner) to get like 3.5% more trap speed.

 

Someone should graph the forum results we know about, I'm interested but I'm too lazy.

Blow at least 0.1 or you're not allowed on the track

Fly home from work tonight car still needs a full tune also need to try and sort my FG throttle body issue, try work out were I am going to mount and build a stupid 3L catch can somewhere in my engine bay. Also throw some fresh rubber on my spare set of 17s since I cannot find a pair of 17x9 wheels to put a 275 nt05r gonna have to just deal with everyone beating me.

What is everyone else running for tyres?
