    Top Gear

    ok i got a new question. its more based toward steet cobra but if you have one thats straight up race car thats cool too. im looking for some top speeds in the quarter, standing mile, or just a top speed all together. and if you stopped the needle what rpm were you at when the road got to short to keep the #s climbing. so here what ide like to see if its not to much to ask.
    1. gear you were in
    2. RPM
    3. rear gear Ratio
    4. tire size.

    and maybe what youve got done to the car and the hp/tq your hittin the road with.
    thanks yall.

    I had my old fox up to about 150 once. It didn't have a whole lot done to it at that time. I think it just had a full exhaust and that's it, even the stock carb. That was at about 6000 rpms in 4th with the stock 2.73's. That was down right scary, felt like the car was gonna lift off. I've had the cobra up to around 155 ish. That was somewhere in 5th gear with 3.55's. It felt way more comfortable than the fox, but I didn't really feel the need to push it any farther. I've seen cobra's with less mods do upper 170's and still climbing

    4th gear, roughly 7k rpm, 4.10's, 28" tire, 6-speed...141mph. 600+ rwhp & rwtq on slicks...

    im sand bagging on the rwhp & rwtq because of the gear and type of tires....she made more power than that at the rear tires for all of the DYNO QUEENS!!!
