the same engine and trans will be going in the new race cobra that matt and i are building. so it should be nearly as fast though with the taller gearing it will be slower off the line .i calculated the top speed with the new gearing and tyre sizes 3rd at 6500 rpm is 257kph and top at 6500 is 312 kph
if we rev it too 7500 which is doable and get enough hp which is doable it would go 360 kph not allowing for trans slip 225 mph less 5% slip = 213 mph .
need along road and big gangollies to do that in a cobra.  |
The only way I could get the little red wagon up to those speeds was if I drove it off a cliff !!
Looks like the red racer will be getting a reaming over the coming years !!!
I hope they kiss me first or buy me a drink at least.
