"There's no need to comment on the car, there will be sufficient results after the track day. However, math and physics don't lie. Assuming proper gearing, identical aero, and a stock top speed of 143mph, to get to (a true) 165mph would take ~291hp.
But agreed, he could easily have seen 165 on the speedo; for instance 155mph could be attained w/ only ~242 hp, and a reading of 165mph but true speed of 155mph is only ~6% speedometer error."
This statement doesnt take into account wind, A tail wind of 20mph could off set the required HP. As well as the density of the air.....
And then there is the Human element..... HU on the elemental chart
This is coming from the Aviation side of the house.....
I also stayed at a holiday inn express last night......
That was one of the best lines in this whole thread!
