Does anyone know how fast the race preprepared TR6's were? In my turkey induced coma I was contemplating how fast a 6 can <u>safely</u> go.
I did some calculations and my little bastardization project should yield a car that should do 165-175 mph. Gearing wise it will do 195, but the drag on the oh so aerodynamic 6 stops it around the 170 mark.
I was just curious how fast you could safely drive on a track or desolate Wyoming road. From what I understand you are pretty safe until 150 mph then aerodynamics start playing a major factor. Before the tear down I had it up to around 100 indicated on the stock motor and it felt light but stable.
Just curious what your high speed impressions of the 6 were on the road or track. BTW, the is mainly an academic question as I have a motorcycle that will do just shy of 180mph, but it has never seen even close to that, but it is nice to know that it is stable at the top end.
Thanks, now back to the honey-do's before I am free to the garage.
