Thanks for the graph TrboLag. It is a useful ballpark tool, and is probably very accurate on a standard day. But reality is reality, and that's all I'm here to report about. Here is a dyno I did not too long after I bought my car. I had three pulls done in 4th gear to rev limiter. The car was completely stock with about 3K miles on it (still had OEM engine oil fill). At 8033 RPM it was doing 93 MPH. There was no fan blowing the engine cool in the garage, and I actually don't know which pull this was (but I think it was the 2nd pull with the highest horsepower number).

This is the type of performance I see in the Texas heat with the AC on. But come fall and winter above 40F, I have no trouble reaching 99-100 MPH in 4th gear.
Trust me, I'm not trying to misdirect anyone here. I'm just trying to correlate some physics to the phenomenon expressed by the OP.
I also spent 24 years as a Naval Aviator flying P-3C Orions. I still have my NATOPS manual, so if anyone wants me plug in some numbers for aircraft performance, I'll see if I remeber how.

INDYMAC - you do realize that the dyno evidence you posted shows nearly 1,000 RPM difference, accounting for the 11mph difference between your runs? Once again, RPM and speed in a gear ARE CONSTANT. Your application of theory on an airplane does not translate to a car.

A shining beacon for the armed forces right here.

Yes, aviation is quite a bit different, but some principles apply in this regard.

THIS IS 4 REAL GUYS! I SWEAR TO GOD!
How can a stock ap2 beat me? if I have all those mods!
And my clutch is like 5 months old, I've changed the flywheel to an ap1. And then i was hitting 100 KMH REDLINE!
But now it's 93, and keep lowering!
Don't know what else to do with the car. I've done EVERYTHING! but nothing seems to work out.
