Message	Take the redline RPMs, the top transmission gear ratio, the rear end ratio, and the tire circumference, and you can find top speed based on gearing, assuming enough HP to overcome the air drag. I'm sure somebody around here has done the math.... Remember: Stoplights timed at 35 mph are also timed at 140 mph

Thought the 5th cog - Zster 15:38:07 10/10/00 no. manual top gear is .75, auto is .69 - got rice? 15:42:13 10/10/00 It's easy to figure out... - MIT-Z 15:28:04 10/10/00 Phew.. I thought you were gonna write a book like you - Maximamike™ 15:29:38 10/10/00 No, someone has to tell him he's wrong first... j/k. (n/m) - Thomas Z 15:32:40 10/10/00 LOL - Gotta do work today... (n/m) - MIT-Z 15:34:00 10/10/00 You are forgetting the drag coefficient in the wheel bearing - PLEAZURE in CA 15:37:04 10/10/00 Ok, then let's just say enough HP to overcome ALL drag. ;) (n/m) - MIT-Z 15:38:30 10/10/00 bearings have nothing to do with the drag (n/m) - got rice? 15:40:46 10/10/00 parasitic drag of HP from car. not aerod, tho, & minimal. (n/m) - nixit(da][as) 15:57:36 10/10/00 that's what I'm referring to - got rice? 16:57:38 10/10/00 larger wheels/tires will increase top speed. (n/m) - NVMYZTT 15:36:42 10/10/00 real easy.. - got rice? 15:38:50 10/10/00 OMG!!he's gone postal!!LOL! (n/m) - wasispeeding? 15:59:14 10/10/00 Topspeed for 275/40R17 is 193 MPH and 285/35R18 is 194.4 MPH (n/m) - Carlos Ramirez 16:55:36 10/10/00 u all make my head hurt (n/m) - HALO Z(GA) 17:19:54 10/10/00 How can 6.47 feet convert to MPH and where did 88 come from? (n/m) - PLEAZURE in CA 17:29:41 10/10/00 Re: How can 6.47 feet convert to MPH and where did 88 come f - got rice? 17:37:15 10/10/00 that's about right... maybe a couple of miles lower - AgentZ 17:57:24 10/10/00 192 mph with 7200 rev limiter and manual tranny.. - SpdRacr 17:40:36 10/10/00 totally inSANE!(not a bad thing) hehe good luck & be careful (n/m) - Jefe 17:47:10 10/10/00 Here's the math: M=183.06 A=188.11 - zxdallas 08:26:32 10/11/00 Re: Here's the math: M=173.06 A=188.11 (n/m) - zxdallas 08:32:29 10/11/00
