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.  |
So even though we know that it's completely unsafe for you to do this, if we do not agree with you then we cannot post in your thread?
You've got a lot to learn. I'll say it, you will not hit 200 mph in the standing mile. Has nothing to do with HP, even though your claimed 1000 hp with a stock engine has never been proved. It does have to do with the enormous amount of air that will get under the front of the car and render the handling deadly.
You don't understand it, you don't agree with it, and you'll likely find out the hard way. But that's your right. My guess is if you're smart you'll get the crap scared out of you around 170 mph or so and back out of the throttle. If you're "brave" enough to just keep your foot planted you may not get a full mile down the road.
Bottom line, I'm leaving this info here so that if you do have any issues at least this site doesn't become part of a lawsuit from your family for promoting you to do this. And you mentioned you will have all the safety equipment required so when is the cage going in the car? You were adament about not having one earlier.
I will actually be surprised if any association lets you even try the way your car is now once they figure out you have enough power to get very unstable on the top end.
If you don't like the comments please post elsewhere. Whether you understand it or not we are trying to prevent you from killing yourself.
