top speed
 
ok so ive looked at a few threads on here where people are talking about top speeds and most people say 150 around there. but my question is how much power would be required to reach the 180+ that is possible with the gears. im not stupid enough to try it in my stock car but i just want to know what it would take to push through the resistance at 150 and reach 180+

a supercharged V8.

at least 300-400 given the drag.

Why do you need to go 180+?

knuckle buster 03-10-2012 03:08 PM

i am purely curious as to what it would take to actually reach the top speed of this car

A three rotor?

17 inch rims with low profile tires :P

you'll need to find a good downhill run to achieve it. I suggest the Grapevine mountain slope in California. Ive seen some 18 wheelers doing close to that when they lose their brakes sometimes.
