Some of you need to chill!
Bravado! I am not on here posting all the time saying I can do 200 and nobody else can or anything like that.
I only start getting saying how powerful my car is when someone says I can't do a standing mile, or shooting me down. Who woud'nt get defensive? It pisses me off, but maybe that's what you goals are, I don't know. I have been asking what other people are doing to there cars to go 200, and asking what transmissions people are using with BIG power with an overdrive.
What the hells wrong with that? That deserves negative or doubtfull comments?? I did not ask for someone to give me permission.
From a small few of you, all I get is that I either do not have the power, or my car will take off and I will be flying with the birds! I did not ask for those comments. If you have nothing positive to say, Shut up!
People do the standing mile ALL the time. I am going to try it to. It's not that damn big of a deal. Drag cars are doing 180+ all the time, 1500+ horsepower trying as hard as it can to do flip it the car into a wheel stand at that speed, noses in the air, they do it every day! Why don't you tell them they should not do that?
All I am saying is enough for the negative "The standing mile can't be done with your car because it's not shaped like the space shuttle" comments.
Look up all the online videos of other cars doing the standing mile and then make your judgements. Real cars, doing a real standing mile.
And you guys ragging on me because I say my car will go 200, when you say it won't, get real, it will, it's mathmatical fact! If you do not believe it, I don't really care anymore, do some research.
You wanna rag on someone...Rag on Rocketman, he's going 200 in a stock vette over a 2 mile span on a public road!!
To all those who have supported me in my questions with positive info and help, THANK YOU! I really do appreciate it.

Some of you guys may already have seen this, but here's a racing Mercedes Benz CLR at Le Mans in 1999.

That car had millions spent on it & had a full aero package, but was able to lift at around 200mph. Your car is home built with NO aero devices at all & has all the aerodynamics of a brick. Your suspension package isn't capable of doing 200mph safely. You've been banging on for ages now about this 200mph run & EVERYONE has told you to reconsider, no one has thought it was a cool idea. They're ALL car guys with a lot of experience with high speed cars, take some advice & stop trying to be the big man by talking nonsense about your car being able to run 200 easily. If it was so easy, the manufacturers like Ferrari, Mc Laren, Bugatti etc would just build high powered engines like you to say they can run 200. Why don't they just do that??? 'cos it a total package & far more than just power to run these numbers.
You have a lovely wife & family, accidents DO happen & you may not live to tell the tale. Take up the offer to run 200 on the dyno instead & live a long life with your young family. People are probably getting bored now by your bravado. |
