Re: Speed / Power to Weight
Posted: Wed Jan 07, 2015 6:28 pmI got up to 140 in my rex, but got scared. Still had more juice left though.
Fiesta ST - 197 HP, 2,570 lbs (hard to find the local weight). I think I might have gotten to around 110 mph at some point on the trip home from my mum's place last year from QLD to VIC. But then I think around 180km/h seems to be my subconscious cutoff in pretty much my last few cars and my dad's motorbikes when I take them out for a ride. So much easier to hit that speed on a bike though.
I kind of forget how to drive now though, i'm up at my mum's without a car and until two days ago hadn't driven for about 6 weeks. Then when I do drive it is just a bit old shitty auto Holden Captiva. I think I may need to go for a fast drive in the ST once I get back home.
