this guy thinks a 40 year old tach is accurate a 8K

My wonderwoman jet injun has a pink fan in it. And some chrome. The chrome adds horsepower. I bet none of you guys knew that didja?

I told him a few months ago to get rid of the pizza cutters. All that car will do is burnouts I'm hear to tell you. A 540 and 275 bfg ta's. LOL

I am wondering where he gets any of his numbers. Now, I am a total idiot when it comes to guessing power based on chosen components .But how does he figure his horsepower and his top speed numbers? Is he doing some math with gear ratios and tire diameters and engine rpm? Because that does not even seem to add up. But then again I may be doing that wrong myself.

The big question I have is how on earth (or any other planet) did he spend 200k on that Camaro???

1) It doesn't
2) He didn't

There is my math on that situation, but what do I know, I am only an engineering major and do lots of math all day.

Haha, What ever makes a guy sleep at night I guess

Did you notice the tach stops at 7k....and he has no fan on the puller side. I bet it runs nice and cool in the summer. How about that fuel pump, you can hear that thing a mile away. I normally don't like to bash thi smuch but he is so full of **** it's coming out his ears.

He didn't. He has a 5 speed in it. It runs on BFG Comp TAs. Its your typical backyard shadetree mechanic camaro with a 540 in it.

Guy talks crap all over youtube. Hes a clown, and if you tell him hes full of it, he'll have his friends troll you.

He compared his car to big red

I am no math whiz. If it is not on a tape measure forget it.

Well math it is then!! LOL

ASSuming a 26.6 inch tire diameter
ASSuming a .82 final drive
ASSuming a 3.73 gear ratio

Engine Speed (RPM) Speed (MPH)

8000 RPM 206.98 MPH
7500 RPM 194.05 MPH
7000 RPM 181.11 MPH
6500 RPM 168.17 MPH
6000 RPM 155.24 MPH
5500 RPM 142.30 MPH
5000 RPM 129.36 MPH
4500 RPM 116.43 MPH
4000 RPM 103.49 MPH
3500 RPM 90.56 MPH
3000 RPM 77.62 MPH

Now -- I've personally redlined my Nomad at 6000 rpm in overdrive with the above rear gear ratio -- calculated speed 163... and I'm here to tell you that is F A S T... and I've redlined my M5 in top gear - and that was FASTER... the heads up display read 170 - and have a buddy with me that was watching the speedo etc. We were both scared... I hammered it there and immediately backed out of it.

I also know that it takes some SERIOUS preparation to hammer 200 mph... and live to tell about it! LOL
