Top speed at 300-400 hp

[J-Ran]

have you seen the top secret supra that smokey nagata built for 400km/h??? Its got a bad ass V-12 which i believe is from a toyota crown or something and i think its basically 2 2jzs mated together. They put a lot of R+D into aerodynamics and suspension for this feat. Not to mention it has around 1000 HP. Anyways, My near-stock Gts-T can reach speeds of 265km/h or so.

265 on GPS/Radar, or 265 on a speedo :roll:

240 stock gtst

On a track, 255km/hr (or so, I'm not sure how accurate my speedo is) with the HKS speed limit defencer, with no more rpm to go...

[cobrAA]

could the motor f*ck up if you go at those speed?? I mean if you didn't mod you car for those kind of speed. Can a STOCK rb motor support those kind of speed?

HP has nothing to do with it?

If you stuck an 80 horsepower Civic HX motor into a very unaerodynamic GTR body, even with a perfectly spaced 10 speed transmission you would not go very fast at all. Horsepower and COD have a huge role in what kind of a top speed your car can hit.

So you're telling me a stock GTR with the stock 8000 RPM redline will be able to hit 193 MPH, although just get their very slowly because it doesn't have much horsepower?

it would mean that the 80HP Civic HX would take 300000 blocks to get to top speed ,thats all!

Tokes pretty much summed it up in the last post of the first page but here is an over-simplification: if the car is drag limited in the top end (i.e. more RPMs left on the tach but no acceleration), more power will let you go faster. If you're limited by RPMs (i.e. the car was still pulling hard but no more RPMs left on the tach) you need taller gears. Doesn't anyone else play around with Forza or Gran Turismo?

That being said, with ~350hp at the wheels, you should probably be able to go over 260 with enough road, but that's a pretty long straightaway on a track...

Lol thank god for video games eh? They should make a new road in GT5 or forza 3 that is perfectly straight, and goes on forever. Would be pretty cool for online drag races.

That would be the most boring track to play, i would never do it....the straights in the high speed ring are fine for my likings.

it would be a ******* sweet track... go until your car tops out then rip the E-brake and see how many 360's you can do lol

haha, reminds me of something, you should go to youtube and look up how saudi arabians "drift" its hilarious but slightly disturbing when they take a toyota matrix up to 200 km/h and crank the e-brake...

Ridiculous lol....6:25 is insane.

[Velders]

Yes.... because everybody knows that drifting means being terribly out of control and hitting people and other cars. Those people are crazy. :hit newb:

[Wants_a_GTR]

i thought the whole point of drifiting was to go around a corner... I wish i owned an oil company so i could waste the millions i make of off it.
