How Is Top Speed Gained

[Agent_4573]

trying to get an old fastback up to 200 is pretty much outta the question. I mean it could vbe done one a full out drag car that wasn't really much of a fastback anymore. Even if it isn't as wide as the new cobra's, the new cobras are more round and aerodynamic. Think of it as trying to pull a brick through water and a baseball through water. The baseball is gonna go alot easier cuz it rounder. Also, just slapping a rear wing on the car that has the most downforce will have some negative effects. To much downforce on the rear wheels will increase the friction between them and the road, slowing you down. It may also contribute to the nose becoming airborne. The harder you push down behind your rear axle, the easier it will be to lift the nose off the ground. What your looking for is a complete balance of downforce between the front and rear of the car.
