power vs fastness? This should start some comments!

(That's one per turbo plus an extra one for that many rpm!)

Hello Mikael

Can I ask which gearbox option you have please (hopefully listed previously)? Would be great if its the same as Mark (top of page), as with that much power, you don't want to be wasting time changing gears too much!

I use a four speed 930 box
2.250
1.304
0.892
0.625
Final 4.222

www.kenson.nu/ultima/930T.htm

The "gap" from 1st to 2nd is a bit big so I rev to 9000 in 1st if I'm in a hurry

extra

Am getting:-

78 in first @ 9000 rpm.
131 in 2nd @ 8670 rpm. (Optimum shift point, the sim changes gear at whatever rpm gives best result).
192 in 3rd @ 8600 rpm.
254 in 4th @ 7874 rpm (down to my guess 0.36 drag coefficient).

Well am getting 1.64 secs 0-60mph, which I think may not be too realistic !!!
If that could be sustained though 0 - 100 mph in 4.65 secs.
1/4 mile 9.28 secs @ 152mph

Standing mile 231mph.
60-100mph in 2nd gear 1.65 secs

Will tinker with the coeffs of friction for a more realistic 0-60 I think !

Blimey thats one hell of a power curve.... and all the way to 8000rpm!!!

If I can get my twin turbo V12 to rev that high I'd have a theoretical 300mph 6th!!!!

If Mikaels car had 1600 bhp and a 2.6 final drive then it would be good for 301mph at 8140 rpm
