How Is Top Speed Gained - Page 3

It is John Buscema's Mustang I was rerferring to. Several years ago one of the snob-rags, Motor trend I think did a comparison of all the big hitters, Saleen, Lingenfelter, Steeda etc and the big 351 Saleed hit 177 on top. I'm not sure how much power it puts to the ground but them ain't bad numbers for a street car that blocks wind like a shoebox.

Compared to a fox-body stang how much better do yu think a 94-95 body woudl be for top speed?

Such as if there was 600 RWHP in both cars what do yu think the top speed of each woudl be?

okay the 1994 mustang Gt had a coefficient drag of 0.34 whatever that means that may help on a guess.

Thanks
