Re: Top Speed

I think the fastest I've hit in anything was 115 or so in my Typhoon. Another board member, who shall remain nameless told me "if you can keep up, you won't get a ticket"... and he was in a position to back that up. Of course, seconds after that phone call, a full size Ford SUV pulls in between us, and I needed to play catch up. I stopped looking down at the speedo around 110 and kept my foot in it for a while longer.

What is the RWHP of your Camaro? How was your speed measured thru the traps?

Thanks!

It made 890rwhp @24psi boost. It was at 19psi during the 199mph run so probably just under 800rwhp. I sold the car and everything from it to do my Typhoon project.

Speed was calculated with the East Coast Timing associations equipment, which I believe measures time between 2 points. BTW, in the video the view from the outside of the car was a licensing run @150mph, once I put it in 5th I just cruised down with little acceleration.

The card reads

Segment Time Speed
OFFICIAL SP 0.45121 199.46366 MPH

160 in my old WS6

140 in my Chevelle

85+++ in my GN ;)

At least 130 in my Sy before the new build. Not exactly sure how much past the speedo I was.

Re: Top Speed

I have done 180 in my Dinan S2 M5 and it was smooth and still going. Hopefully I get my TY tomorrow and will let you know about that top speed.

Re: Top Speed

175 (speedo indicated) on my '02 ZX-12R, and 180 (speedo indicated) in my '08 Busa. It is kinda hard to look down when you are cooking along that fast. Only had my truck up to 100 or so. Hard to get any faster in between stop lights! :tup:
