This tells you the horsepower needed in specific cars (Z !!) to reach certain speeds. Gives you all the calcs too

Cool, does that mean a 300 with 463bhp could do 200mph?

Does'nt seem to take one of the biggest factors into consideration - Gearing.

hmmmm, yeah would assume its using manufacturers gear ratios and wheal diameters ??

just done a compairson with the 300 and a GTR, as expected, the 300 requires considerably less horse power across the range to achive the same speeds

Well potentially, yes, actually !

does'nt ask about Manual or Auto...which has different ratios.

I guess it assumes you have perfect gearing for your speed... 200mph @ exact peak power RPM

The McLaren F1 only needs 366RWHP to achieve 200mph :shock:

 

Now that's efficiency for you!

 

 

Crotchrocket :bow: top site that! Well done!

Mmm im not convinced, but you know what at least i dont have to build an 800hp monster
