: Damn.
: I had my stage 3 bounce of the jwt rev limit in 5th once.
: (or sure felt like a rev limiter)
: Damn.

: If I'd known I was going *that* fast I would probably shit my pants.

coefficient drag along with drivetrain losses.

I had some spare time a few days ago and figured out how much force there would be on the front of the car.

100 mph : 154 lbs
130 mph : 260.26 lbs
150 mph : 346.5 lbs
175 mph : 471.6 lbs
200 mph : 616 lbs!!!!!!!!
F = 0.0154 (v(mph))^2 pounds (don't ask for the paperwork.. hehe.. it's a bunch of scribble)

I also figured out (in a perfect world where the roads are flat, there's no traffic, and the car has a longgggggggggg stretch of road), that to reach 200 mph, the Z would only need 328.533 brake hp (with coefficient drag taken into effect)
[0.3388 / 8250](v(mph))^3 hp
