just wondering how fast 6th gear redlined is,what mph? it can be a supercharged,turbo,or nitrous s2000 ,i dont care, soo has anyone ever hit the rev limiter in 6th and whats the MPH??
thanks and its for a bet that i have with a few friends who think the S can only go 158 with any power adder.i tell them about the guy who went 170 something,was that 6th redlined?
ohhh the bet is for a run down the drag strip in my car if i lose and if win i get to drag a turbo civic that runs 11s sooo i need info fast and need to win this bet so i can experience a little turbo power.WELL NOT A LITTLE!!
peace

 

click on the link to the gear calculator in my signature.

 

bro i printed the results out and will be winning my bet and i will also post the times i run in my boys turbo civic..
damnnn 6th can go up almost 170 if the power is there.
ok now is there a video,has to be mpeg of any s2000s at top speed racing or just doing a highspeed run?
ALSO how could an s2000 get to 180?is it possible im just wondering what it would take!!!
peace

 

Dude, why not TAKE IT OUT ON THE TURNPIKE AT NIGHT BRO!*















*For the humor impaired...this is a joke.

 

152 on the turnpike coming south to north from exit 9 to 10
and this is with just comptech intake and no passenger seat.
it was against a gsr with a alot of bolt ons ,the race started at 110 and from there i pulled all the way up to 152 on stock wheels and tires
does anyone think 180 is possilbe with 400hp to the wheels???????

 

No. Please look at my gear calculator - those are all of the factors determining your theoretical top speed. You need to have power to reach that speed, but no matter how much power you have, if you don't raise your redline or change your gearing (either 6th gear itself, the secondary reduction gear in the trans, the axle ratio, or your tire diameter) you will not hit 180 mph. You'll just peg the rev-limiter at about 167. Even if you do change the tire diameter or axle ratio such that you can reach 180, keep in mind the vehicle speed sensor is in the transmission, so the speedometer will still read about 167.

 

by my own calculations
taking into account gear ratio, final drive ratio, engine speed, tire diam etc...

if the vehicle had enough power to overcome aerodynamic drag

approx..

135mph in 5th
166mph in 6th

Theres a vid of a s2k top speeding in km/h. I believe he hit 159 or 167, i will try and find it. Mike

Hey Rev, are you taking into account the 9,200 cut or the 9K redline?
