175MPH Top Speed
Note: As has been discussed repeatedly, 175mph is a physical impossibility in an S2000 with stock gearing and tire sizes (as Dave claimed to have). At the point where he's redlined in 6th, do the math and you'll find he couldn't have been doing more than 165. Still pretty damn fast, I know.
Hey twohoos, I don't know what size tires he was running but according to "the Reverend's gear calculator" for the S2K, with 255/35R18 tires at 8900 rpm in 6th gear you can hit 171.8. Now I know for a fact that the speedo on the stook is a bit optimistic as I have done speed trapped runs showing 140 on the gauge but actually only been going 137. Not sure but it's still a sweet vid!
