I wish somebody here still have that picture of the SVX between the two Porsches... That would confirm that Sonar's record was beaten!

That's it, lock the thread!!! My teen Jon wants a 5MT in his car.
No worries, he doesn't read these threads. Interesting though, that much difference in speed. thanks for posting Quote:

Danny, I believe you. Your car came without cats, and probably the best tune in any market. 172 mph, on that high octane Autobahn fuel, I think 101 octane when I was in Germany last summer.

I would post an answer but most of you should know how fast my car is capable of.. That is before 1 thread was locked, and one thread was deleted.

Whilst not calling anybody a liar, some of the claims made need to be examined in the light of the following real world empirically derived formula, which ignores rolling resistance and other parasitic losses.
Power = 8.702 x 10**(-6) x Cd x A x V**3 where Cd = coefficient of drag A = square feet of frontal area of the vehicle V = Velocity, in miles per hour Code:
Speed Power Required m.p.h Horsepower 30 1.6 40 3.9 50 7.6 60 13.2 70 21.0 80 31.4 90 44.8 100 61.4 110 81.7 120 106.1 130 135.0 140 168.6 150 207.4 160 251.7 170 301.9 Whilst the figures above are purely theoretical, they do appear to align fairly well with published road test figures. Claims of a standard car exceeding 150m.p.h. by more than a couple of miles per hour would seem to indicate either the assistance of a stiff tailwind or a downhill test track. Conversely, it shows that an SVX that cannot exceed 130 mph is really severely out of tune.

Ever here of Gear Ratio's? My car wont go over 140MPH You going to tell me I'm only making 135hp? Also the equation doesnt say anything about disance. Is that speed in a standing mile or top speed? With enough distance and the right gearing I believe the speeds are possible.

Distance and gearing matter little. Wind-up ANY car on the Bonneville Salt Flats, with any gear ratio, and top speed will hit the wall when it runs out of horsepower. Keep running flat-out for the rest of the day, if you want, but you won't go one bit faster unless you pick-up a tailwind.
Somebody calculated that an SVX with stock gearing, in fourth gear, would be doing close to 200 mph at redline. Thing is, it doesn't have the muscle to get to get there. (If it did, surely there would be fewer on the road today.) dcb |

You going to tell me I'm only making 135hp? - Yes, I am (or pretty close to that) at the wheels, not at the flywheel. Your engine will only be turning over at around 4,500 rpm at 135 mph (if you have a 3.54 final drive) and will not be developing peak power. Also the equation doesnt say anything about disance. Is that speed in a standing mile or top speed? Its just speed. Not top speed. It's just a measure of how much power you need just to push the air out of the way at any given speed. With enough distance and the right gearing I believe the speeds are possible. I believe that 150 mph or so is about the maximum you will be likely to see.

Concerning my car model, I am suspecting that Stage 1 LAN chip is not working properly on my ECU, I mean that it is not suitable for my no cats model, I am having somehow a bad mileage. I was wondering can I add a piggyback fuel management system on my ECU?? (sorry I know nothing about where to install it, to which plug and how it can be connected on my ECU...)

Besides that, if the speedometer in the car isn't that accurate, why would you think speedometers not attached to the car would be any better? Besides that, the 'autobahn' pic shows a speedometer that's pegged. It's gone past the measurements the thing can even 'guess' at. How can you possibly accept that it's proof of anything?
