Brian's car shenanigans
its cause they are
why do you think they need all that 500-600 hp to get to 200+mph
sr have long gears but not long enough for 200mph but if they did 300hp would be enough cause they dont weigh nearly as much as a lambo.
anyway man nice car i like it. btw i got my engine out of my car and my headgasket is ok but i was considereing changing it now that its out is it too hard to do it with the engine in the car?i know the banjo clamp on the turbo is a ***** when its in the car. ive only taked off heads from non turbo hondas and they are really easy but then again its fwd and its not close to the firewall.

when you're going over 100mph, power to weight ratio has little to do with how fast the car can go. Speaking of lambos, I saw a diablo pull out of my street today as i was coming back from my walk. Really random since i just live in a small development
Ummmm.....last time I checked, Newton's laws still apply when your speed is greater than 100 mph, otherwsie I am not sure airplanes would fly.
F = ma....all things being the same (aka drag, etc), if you can get traction, a car with a larger power to weight ratio will always pull harder
EDIT: didnt mean to sound like a dick, sorry

yea but heavier cars are more stable at higher speeds the way to combat this on a lighter car is simply downforce. look at F1 cars they weigh 1,300 lbs with driver and have 800hp (im pulling number out my *** so dont quote me) but they make enough downforce at 150mph to drive up side down
