How Is Top Speed Gained

[srv1]

all i know is that the faster you go, the more calculations it is. thier is alot of factors to go 200mph in any vehicle. just remember when you compare your HP numbers to a neew vette and the Vette can do 200, just keep in mind that the engineers had this funny thing called a wind tunnel. this is where your math skills have a big roll if you want to do 200mph. as for me, i dont have these math skills, but my friend has a PHD in math and is a professor at Mansfield. so when i have some tough calculations, i go directly to him.

why would you want to go 200 mph in a fox body anyway? you can lift that sucker right off the ground if you hit 200. the fastest i went in my Stang was past the 140 mark, lets say around 143. i never felt a car "float" so much as i did that day. if i hit a crosswind, i wouldnt be here writing this.

a good example of frontal area is airplanes. look at various ones and you will see some examples.
