Banks had a turbo truck he would drive to bonneville with a trailer behind it, make some crazy high speed run, then hook the trailer back up and drive it home.



was far too, a few thousand miles.





Thats the one I was thinking of. Was it a dakota? Or a 1500 ram?

my drift car is 2501lbs and 414hp(flywheel) so that is 6.04lbs per hp.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif

that is sick vosko that is even better lb:hp than the lambo LMFAO ! ! !



And you guys are right but I bet you you will have alot more fun whipping ass in an RX-7 than in a GTR I am going to love the day i roll up to a GTR and hand it its ass in my 86 im just going to laugh and laugh.



Quick question the GTR is supposed to have a top speed of 193 what besides gearing, drag, hp will limit a cars top speed? like vosko's car has a better hp:lb what would keep it from going up to lambo speed?

vosko 01-09-2008 11:49 AM

exactly what you said. gearing and aerodynamics and raw hp



anything above 175mph gets iffy on a street car

RX7 13B 4 UR AZZ 01-09-2008 12:00 PM

i would not even dare i got up to 150 in a fd and its scary it would take some big cojones to go 175 even 193 GTR top speed

vosko 01-09-2008 01:52 PM

i did 175 once...

dakota, I think they called it sidewinder or some ****



acceleration is nice and a quick blast to speed, but to drive 175mph on a road is ******* retarded and irresponsible
