I was just wondering, how much power would a 1G have to make to beat a 2002 BMW M3 SMG at the 1/4 mile?

The M3 has a top speed of 250 (limited) can the 1Gs reach this?

Thank you :thumb:
 
Sorry about that, thought it would be obvious im talking about km/h :) Thats 155mph.

Here are some numbers for the M3 SMG:

0-60: 5.2
HP: 333 @ 7900
Torque: 262 @ 4900
3.2 L

Thank you.
 
Comments: the hardtops, 6 speeds are rated to a 13.3@103mph stock. You could acheive that with mbc, 3" exhaust, race gas and some porting
 
Thanks :thumb:

Anyone know the top speed on a 1990 Talon TSi AWD? Thank you.
 
Not that I am ever going to reach the top speed of 137mph anyways, but just theoretically it is possible to modify the engine to push past this limit? I understand a bigger turbo would create better acceleration, but how do you go about changing the top speed?

Thanks again :thumb:

The way that you change your top speed is all dependent on what the limiting factor is. A number of factors determine top speed including horsepower, aerodynamic drag, and gearing. In the case of DSMs the stock horsepower is the limiting factor.... so yes larger turbo/more horsepower will increase the top speed.
 
1g AWDs go faster than 137 :)
 
I dunno bout the 1g's but my stock 2g has been at 148 before i just quit.... i maybe could have gotten to 150 but i was being stupid enough.... i don't see why the 1g's couldn't do that also ;)

See Scott Gray's site. His movie directory seems to be down, but I have a video of him doing 178 MPH across the desert. He claims 184 is his top speed, revving to 8500 RPM.

Look at my sig and tell me AWD's only go 137mph.

I dun see ur sig :confused:

Im starting to love talons more and more and more!!!!! I LOVE THIS CAR :D
 
Nevermind i see it, thanks for all the replies :)
 
I have had my 95 GST up to 145mph straight road and I am guessing thats when then fuel cut hits cause it just choked there till it dropped back a little. But thats when I was all stock and it still had some more to go if it weren't for the damn governor. :D By the way anyone know of an easy way of getting rid of the governor without a chip or changing computer?

yeah, it can go past that stock.
my 2g fwd hits the 137mph electronic limiter in 4th gear. even at that speed, the limiter feels like you hit a brick wall, so its definately got some more go in it.

there's a video on austin dsm of a 2g fwd topping 5th gear and pegging the speedo at above 170mph. far from stock however...

I had my sh-tbox tacked passed the 150 mark, but no clue how fast because my speedometer only goes to150!
