BDII Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 1000+ WHP and no traction control = fun Need forum help? Private Message legGTLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyalla Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 What good would traction control do with that kind of power. I remember when Clarkson was driving a Brabus 6.3 SL on the show and the traction control warning light was on permanently, the computer was freaking out Screw the car, I want to know what stretch of road this was!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonwacker Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Another article I read said it was a closed section of SR-221 here in Washington, so it would be somewhere in [ame=http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=46.052267,-119.610901&spn=0.328808,0.6427&z=11&om=0]this[/ame] stretch.

muddy02 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 that thing just looks fast, even while parked. and pretty cheap if you ask me for around whan an Enzo costs. It's not about speed, it's about acceleration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyalla Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Ah, I can see how they ran out of road with those T junctions at both ends lol That road must be as flat as a pancake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 RE92s, silly girl. Considering that RE92's ahve little rolling/slip resistance on any any surface that's a good choice. Reduce friction and power required to turn the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Why didn't they go to Bonneville? You probably never been to Bonneville. If you ever want to go to Bonneville, take someone else's car or you will be washing salt off your car for the next few years. I still wonder how fast the McLaren F1 will go if it had sufficient gearing. It set the record for a long time at 240 mph with only 650hp, but it was on the rev limiter that was bumped up to 8500 rpm for the high speed run. Konesisigiigiigeg took 1000 hp to get to 242. Bugatti Veyron used 1000 hp to get to 253, but electronically limited. Ultimate Aero with 1183 hp gets to 256. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 traction great avatar btw Makes some sense if you were doing acceleration testing, but for top speed I would go to the flats. Especially if they felt like they were leaving speed on the table because they ran out of road. If the car was still accelerating.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the car was still accelerating.... actually traction with high hp cars is a real issue at Bonneville thats one reason why the course is so long to give the high power cars a slower ramp up to top speed. i've read where cars are losing traction at 200+ mph or higher. although pool table flat salt is not good for traction. bosco Stay Stock Stay Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KartRacerBoy Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I swear you could see the line on the tire (which blew) of Hammond's car developnear the end of the previous run on afterburner. I think they just didn't check the tires after that run. Rather a might OOPS if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05LGTLtd Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Why didn't they go to Bonneville? I would think that the rules for the guiness book World's fastest road car might also have something to do with that... All I need now is a hill holder and a center passing light...
