In that section, its all flatout just before that first crest (with and without downforce). We know from REAL telemetry that a 300hp does 120mph, 530hp - 135mph, and if I remember correctly Mike Skeen in his TransAm car is just above 140mph at that point (same goes for the DP GrandAm cars).<br />Cup Car telemetry (mid 1:50s lap doesnt show more than 140mph), so to get to that claimed 148 the car needs at least 600hp+, which is posible in those haridryer blown engines.<br /><br />..and be upfront and post with a name.CGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629683455848978344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-76808843678587401432010-04-01T23:27:44.617-04:002010-04-01T23:27:44.617-04:00my GT2 is so fast, nobody, i mean nobody, is faste...my GT2 is so fast, nobody, i mean nobody, is faster. especially not a fully caged, big turbo subaru. or a vette, or a gtr...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-34596250708394495652010-04-01T13:18:27.790-04:002010-04-01T13:18:27.790-04:00It's not the stock STi wing, I believe he said...It's not the stock STi wing, I believe he said it was an APR 300 or something that they had raised up higher for that day.
