Default How Is Top Speed Gained

Hey guys i was curious as to aero dynamics and allt aht good stuff alogn with weight factors and horsepower needs.

Basically I want a car that can go over 200 MPH

I knwo this soudns pretty crazy but In reality you have to consider i think the new vettes top out at liek 180 MPH and they have something liek 350 horses.

Anyway I was wondering once oyur up and moving does weight really matter much if at all on your top speed?

The new lamborginis and what not are over 3k ibs and i was jsut wondering?

Now more importantly mustangs arent exactly aerodynamic how is this gonna effect thi.gs?

I actaully will probalyl be going with a 60's stang lowering it and adding a few mods to keep it on teh ground as much as possible but they are still somewhat brickish.

How many horses do you think i will need wiht a perfect combo wiht a T-5 tranny and ewhat rear end gears would oyu reccomend along with with tire size
