I got to 255kph limiter with 236rwkw and it had more to go. Car was really stable at that speed, BUT it takes a lot more power to push through the air to go say 280,290,300. I reckon I could hit the limiter in 6th given enough road, which would be over 300kph, hey APS did it back in 2004 with 329rwkw and went 307kph. I reckon I could beat that.

Mike has about 370 or 380rwkw IIRC and he trapped at 238.93 - only 8 higher than me with at least 40 more wasps! Or over 13% more power (and same tuner) to get like 3.5% more trap speed. Someone should graph the forum results we know about, I'm interested but I'm too lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
