208 MPH Cuda

I'd be on that like stink on Poo :pbj Peter has the best job.

That Cuda sounded good blowing by at 200+, but the Enzo......... :coo :coo :naug :wor
 
really cool video... Those things haul arse. But to lift the hood 3 inches, wow.

Mark, did you notice, he said pass on the left. Something for you to shoot for next year! :lol
 
Nice...
Did I miss the entire season on Speed or did they not run it? The DVR is set to record new episodes but never did. Looked through Speed's website, no bueno. Plenty of NASCAR crap though.

Funny girl!


Their chrome trim came off near 200, I had the same thing happen on the front straight at Portland INTL Raceway.......although it was a tad bit lower (125) :ecit

I liked his comment at the end, "it was running out of aero and I was running out of cajones"

He also said it had plenty of HP but was running out of aero. More like the opposite since his frontal area is known.

Horsepower Required to Overcome Air Resistance
The horsepower required to overcome air resistance is the speed in miles per hour, cubed, times the frontal area in square feet divided by 150,000
 
Mikey, I'm guessing he was talking about aero "downforce" I bet that car's floating like a bee at 200!!

Thats my thoughts, he said the hood was up 3 inches, but in the video, its just as high as the fenders.
 
That thing is like pushing a brick at 200mph....the Enzo was designed for speed. Now put that engine in a slippery body like the Enzo and top speed would be quite high. Like the Veyron (sp?) other factors would then raise their heads...tires, fuel, optimum downforce.....etc.
 
That car is gorgeous, they always have great cars coming from that shop.

I haven't seen any recent episodes, but the older episodes of Dream Car Garage were great.
 
That is a great video. Someone needs to post it on a ricer forum so they can see that it takes more than a bunch of stickers, a big wing and a fart can to go fast.
