Highest recorded top speed of 3/S? Has anyone ever broke 200mph...

here is the russian article mayby someone could give us a good translation of it ?
MITSUBISHI 3000 GT.
¹18, 2000. Òåñò Mitsubishi 3000 GT

...did you find those real world results documents on a park bench with wheels? JK. Good finds man!

Dont suppose anyone has similar data for all of the 3/s wings?

99
SL
AA
Hoop
Banana
etc.

Make it stop!

We can't stop, we have to slow down first!

idk but imagine a stealth wing back there and note how the airflow would almost completely miss it .

Here are some aero values for a 1st gen vr4.

The subs simply say 'effectiveness of the active aero system.'

well check this out. bugatti veyron's drag coefficient is .42 normal driving and .36 while it's setup for max speed. the car makes about 800-850whp so if we consider the dc of the car compare to ours, 800whp should be plenty to get our car with similar drag or less close to that speed. Ferrari F40 did 200mph and it's dc is .36 and the car should make about 400whp. i did 165ish on speedo a while back when my car was making like 350whp and it didn't take too long to do so (felt like 2 miles from 80 roll) and it had more in it too. my car was not as aerodynamic as stock car either because of large front opening and no under cover. so questioning if a 3/s with 500+ whp can reach 200 is kind of odd.

Those would need to be 500 big turbo horsepower close to redline. Not the 500 horsepower at 5500 rpm that TD04 bolt-on turbos provide. The VR4's engine does not compliment the gearing too well.

I hate speculation, but we have over 230lbs of rotating weight to overcome (in stock form) before 1hp gets to the ground vs any of the rwd comparisons. Idk what the F40's drivetrain weighs

Summary of Russian wind tunnel test:
The active Aero doesn't do much for drag, it neutralizes lift in the rear and minimizes lift in the front. It wouldn't go any faster, but it'd be more pleasant to drive at top speed lol

Yep, you'd need the horsepower based on engine speed.

The other thing not really discussed with our wind tunnel data is lift. The net downforce is zero, but theres still going to be 500lbs of lift at the front of our vehicles at those speeds with a front bumper height of 4" with AA engaged. That number needs to be lower and will negatively affect traction which is crucal to maintain power to the wheels.

The Veyrons top speed is 230 with a ride height of 4.5". When you key it into top speed mode the engine tune changes, the aero changes to zero lift front and rear, and among other things suspension lowers to a ride height of height of 2.5" inches of ground clearance. Its incapable of hitting more than 230mph with a 1000hp engine without the dynamic engine, ride height, aero, and traction control changes.
