[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 3797285, member: 40561"] Yeah, mathematically my car in 5th at 6k should do ~204mph on 29" tires but I just dont see that happening. Several people tested the 186 and got the same result but they were on stock 28" tires. I guess by the math, that puts them near 5670rpm and in theory bumping that to 29" should net 192 on paper and 30" 199 at the same RPM (yes, on paper). So it seems 30" tires that are narrower (which is better for traction on salt and has less rolling resistance) plus a few RPM might just met me that magic 200mph. It's fun to think about. In a station wagon. [/QUOTE]
