Post Need help in calculating high speed run potential...

I've notice that some of you are very smart about these things...

One of the guys on a local board here claims that he will reach 280km/h (175MPH) with his relatively stock CRX. His CRX runs a quarter mile of 15.6@87MPH and weights about 2500lbs. From what i can figure that gives him about 130HP.

I took on a $100 bet that he can't pull that off. I even told him he probably can not exceed 235km/h (147MPH) ...

You can read the claims here:

So is this possible. I know that a stock Viper tops out at 187MPH... but it has 450HP.

Thanks for you help!

13.66 @ 100.3MPH, Stock (except for K&N Filter)

Quartermile run
