I don't think 140 would be difficult at all for this car. For a driver to keep his foot in it long enough, now that would be difficult, but not for the car.golf4283 said:Ditto. I doubt it would even go 140 seeing as though an 03 cobra maxes out near 160 with the T56 and 3.55s. Still, I'd like to bring her up to the triple digits
With a 26.35" tall tire, 3.73 gears, and assuming that 6th gear in a T-56 is .6, that would equate to roughly 4000 RPM @ 140 MPH. Granted, the car has the aero dynamics of a brick, but that's not enough to keep it from 140. 205 MPH on the other hand is a pipe dream. The engine would only be turning about 5850 RPM, but not even the ROUSH 402 R engine has enough horse power to push the car that fast.
When I was young and very dumb, I took my '68 coupe to 120 once, and there was still some more to go. I only have a 4 spd and a mildly warmed over 351W. With a 6spd, the ROUSH 402 R engine and cajones the size of Texas, I know my car would do 140 easily.
Cmon, maybe it could reach 200 + then if it had one.
Though, I think its a little too low.
