alana said:I've had it to the (indicated) ton before my courage gave out. Based on driving other - newer and faster - cars on the same stretch of road, it was closer to 90 than to 100. Felt like 150 though!
That was before the engine mods and suspension rebuild. It was wandering across 2 lanes and I was about as scared as I'd been in anything, ever.
I too would be curious to know how fast it will go. I know the PIs at 150hp were good for about 120. With an all out racer now pushing 250hp on triple Webers, they ought to be good for a little more than that.
I guess we should ask TRED. I'll bet his TR6 will do 170 easily. Probably in 2nd gear /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
I believe the fastest I have had my TR6 is 147 mph, and it did feel fast.
I had my new engine on a chassis dyno a couple of weeks ago and at 6000 RPM the dyno read 163 mph. If I put a 6500RPM chip in the rev limiter it should go about 176 mph.
29.3" slick with a 3.00 gear
Looks like I have a bunch of work to do to control all the air, but I plan to sneak up on the MPH a little at a time.
Still have a bit of tuning to do but it made 689 HP to the wheels
