So the little 0-60 thread was fun. Lets try it again with this.
What is the top speed a certain TR can achieve? In a strait line, with an infinite length flat road ahead.
The variables are infinite! So much so, that it's almost impossible to calculate. So I think we sub-10 to high-8 second guys should somewhat use our own cars as examples.
Assuming the following................
- That you will go all the way to the point you begin to piss your pants.
- That you make no major hard-part changes from our typical drag race trim. But everything you already have can be adjusted to the max. Shocks, control arm length, sway bar, camber, caster....whatever.
- That you use a stock body with no blocked off grill, huge wing, or body wrapping air dams.
- You can have it slightly lowered an inch or maybe 2 is OK.
- You must have a standard bolt in adjustable factory configured 4 link rear suspension.
- You can use any big tire on the back and a street tire on the front on any rim you want to use.
- TH-400 as the transmission.
- Any re-tune you can program.
Then maybe re-compute MPH for the transmission of your choice............
Then maybe another re-compute for a total road-race modification list for your own car..........
Lets see what you come up with!
