200mph data-logging

[GuyR]

Here's a couple of data-traces from my GPS data-logger.....





I've been in and examined the data, which it holds to the 1/100th of a second and from the graphs and the data you can see that at 200mph it was still gaining a staggering 1.4 mph every second

It's a real testement to the size and reliability of Ruf horses.

According to Ruf, when they tested my car, the rev-limiter cuts in at an indicated 215mph which equates to about a true 208-210mph for my car.

With their longer 6th gear, which I don't have, it would be good for about 215-218mph I think (since their demo wide-bodied RTurbo which has an extra 30bhp or so and is marginally more aerodynamic, has done 224mph on GPS).

Shame Nardo is so far away!

I'd really love to buy an airfield, the problem is that they were for sale for peanuts about 10-15 years ago, but now command big bucks.

Rod,

As per other thread, power is 620bhp, running super-unleaded only at 1.2bar, just as it left the Ruf workshop with it's 2 year warranty

I don't have any times from a standing start. When we do VMax we enter onto the runway from the corner. It's barely faster than doing a standing start (I have checked in the past and the difference was 1mph), but it's much more fun and saves the clutches/gearboxes of the assembled vehicles. A gearbox in my car is about £12k fitted so I tend to avoid dumping the clutch for obvious reasons.......

The 100mph-200mph time was 29.76secs and the 100-180mph was 18.08secs if that helps - I would assume yours are a fair bit quicker.

Thanks. I haven't checked the 60-150mph figures. Can do later.

Figures for mine on its last run ( in the wet ) were 100-200 in 19.62sec & 100-180 in a staggering 12.50secs.

Rod,

Thanks for the stats, as epected they are very fast indeed!
