I think we're 'gearing limited' Both AP1 and AP2's run out of gears before they hit the limit of the motor. By motor I mean power.

That said, I've owned a few cars drag limited to X and exceeded x in both cases.

 

Nope. AP1 can hit 176mph in gears, but is drag limited to 155. Keep it on the track.

 

269km/h = 167mph

ap2 274km/h = 170mph

Seems not so drag limited

155 is pretty well established. Is that down hill, geared, boosted?

They both claim stock. There's a bunch out there. I can tell you when I got up to 120-130 it had a lot of 'balls' left it in.

I'm compairing 135-140 to an older Acura Rl which claimed drag limit at 125 and a TSX which will break 140. Both heavier/bigger cars with less power. I don't buy for a moment the S2000 cannot do more than 155 with gears. Gears will take it a lot further than 155.

 

In the second video you can see the car is in the red. Hill or no hill it's not going to matter.

I didn't mean to open up a debate. Clearly 155 drag limited is not drag limited but gearing specific.

 

my car did i want to say about 160 but more that 155. but that was one a reflash 8500 redline. dyno it did 165 at the rev limiter. now it only does 152 easily.

 

Russ Jacobson drove(Kevin Jacobson navigator) a '01 S2000 in the May '01 race(105 mph target speed) and came in fourth(damn good).
I don't know if he is a member here but that is the only S2k I saw going back 10 years.
