Chris Wilson Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 http://www.race-cars.com/carsales/other/1172779232/1172779232ss.htm So how much power to make a MKIV do the same...? OK, it's open wheeled, so big drag there, but awesome amount of power to push something so small so fast. Drag is a big top speed killer!

RedM Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Maybe but I bet it's no good for a trip to Sainsburys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 1,769 Kg - quite heavy too! I'd feel much happier trying it in that rather than a Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Just look at Richard Hammond, I'll stick to the Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvershark44 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Erm im going to guess about 851bhp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I did a rough hand calc and came up with just under 2000hp at the rear wheels, based on aero drag and tyre rolling resistance. No idea how accurate it is, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Didn't the jun Supra pull 250 mph ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Didn't the jun Supra pull 250 mph ? 251mph I think unofficially but 249mph recorded. Power was large but achievable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
