200mph SVX???
 

I always wanted a 200 MPH car, and with a .29 or .27 CD, it's been a while since I saw the number, SVX would be perfect. Here's my plan, search out a non sunroof car and gut it, keep only nessicary parts, remove as much weight as possible from items such as hood, trunk, and doors, add a large turbo with a liquid to air intercooler, 2 lightweight bucket seats etc etc etc... What'd yall think???

Forget the turbo, don't gut the car, add 1000 lbs in bricks to the back seat, and find the steepest, longest downhill you can find.

Step 1: Build an indestructable tranny

Step 2: ?

Step 3: 200mph SVX

:D
Beware the underpants gnomes!

Remember to change your tyres

wouldn't work.... with the stock gearing, and all the horsies in the world, you're redlining at i believe close to 190... change up the gearing, or get really big tires, and you'd be set

1. Call the Army.
2. Rent a C-5A Galaxy.
3. Drive onto the plane with the front of the svx facing the planes tail.
4. Have the pilot take you up to 50,000 ft. and drop the plane's tail ramp.
5. Rev up the SVX's engine and drop her into 3..make sure you engage "power mode".
6. Drive off the back of the plane.
7. Keep the revs up and wave bye bye to the pilot & crew.
8. Make sure you keep the front tires pointed straight forward.
9. At about 2,500 ft you should be at 200 mph.
10. Watch out for the sudden stop at sea level. :D

LOL! That would work for sure. Just look out for a flat spin. The ultimate in 200mph donuts!

I believe it is geared for 197 at redline but has nowhere near enough power to push it at that speed. I am sure that any engine modifications to get the kind of horsepower necessary to attain that speed would most likely result in a much higher rev limit so it might be possible afterall.

The PPG Pace Car is capable of doing over 200mph.

hm.. what about one of those JATO rockets?

How do you know this Mike??? Where do ya get info on this damn thing anyway??? I've only seen pictures, damnit!!! I want to see specs on the thing!!!!

A flat spin would definatly get the adrenaline going, not quite what I'm looking for:D same end affect as the driving out of the C5, a assume it's a flat spin in a small plane:(

Re: 200mph SVX???
 

Weight does nothing to affect top speed. It is all in drag and horsies. Don't bother gutting the car, just get some naws, dawg.

weld some wings on, add another engine and some propellers. :D

or buy a rocket from greenmarine. one of those big ones and weld it to the top of your car. install a red button somewhere on the inside and label it 'TURBO BOOST'

JATO? Wasn't there an urban legend arround about that? The details always change, but the basic story line is this guy buys 1 or more JATO's and secures it/them to his car, when he hits the brakes they melt as do the tires, then the whole contraption takes off flying into a cliff, all that is found are some metal shards and his teeth:rolleyes: it's a good story anyway:p
