yes it can, there are just mitigating factors. but no it cannot do that on the street on a regular basis.

Unless there is aome extensive aero body modifications, the standard FD will not do 200 period.
The car that PFS was driving was down on power,had the boost only at 12/13 psi. Second, they were talking about a quick sprint on one section of the track only..NOT TOP SPEED. The stock RX-7 is geared for 201 mph at redline. Most if not all those cars were capable of 200 mph plus. READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE...

top speed is all about restiance, both groud, but mostly air restiance. gear ratio also plays a big deal, as does high rpm power. racing beat has had had their fd (no idea how stock it is - assuming tube frame? but it looks a lot like a fd) to 242 mph.

I have to think an fd with 500 rwhp is capable of 190-200 mph
A bone stock viper 450 brake (not rw) hp gts coupe has hit 189 in testing, and vipers have never been know for their sleek cod.

I would have to say a T-88 on a stock motor is BS... Also so is the 600 HP...

If he had a streetport/sideport it would be very possible though. You can get over 700hp here on a street ported motor..

The PFS car in that article also blew a hose preventing it from reaching 150.

Adam Sawatari wasn't even boosting 20lbs and he dynoed around low to mid 500rwhp and the guy ran mid to high 9s. How much hp do you really need?

Gordon no one said anything about it being a daily driver. They just asked if it were possible. Which it is.

Why do you keep assuming that young = naive??

I doubt every 16 year old member is going to run right out and start bolting on a t-78 hoping for 600 hp. My guess is if your able to get your hp that high. You have enough experience to deal with the problems that generally would arise.

We do not need to be told the obvious.

Cuz 9 times out of 10, it is. It's just a fact. We all were there at one point. My little brother is at that age. My step brother is at that age. My sister is at that age, and of course, all their friends are at that age. It's interesting the things I can tell them

Can you give a description of the car? I only know of one FD in cincy that could put down some decent numbers (Call911 on the forum) and he runs a T-78 but was having a bit of trouble at Edgewater the last time i saw him. This guy your talking about sounds like total and complete BS. You should run him next time and take his money.

if you do manage to get your FD to 200mph, you will be lifted up into heaven.. or at least it will try. the front fender will lift off the ground, and then it will look like its floating up in the air, then start doing all sorts of flips and then crash. that is fd aerodynamics for you.

275/40-17 gets you to 201 mph max.

No, it's not Chance. I know him. This guy's name is Nick and he drives a green FD. I know he has a single turbo, not sure if it's a t-88 or not. He was just claiming it and wouldnt pop the hood. It's funny too cause my best friend's 1g DSM ripped him up from 0-120 and even at 120 he wasn't pulling on us that hard at all. So yeah it's probably BS, but if anyone wants to make a quick 5k or another pretty quick FD come up to the Cincinnati area on Thursday nights at the Dave and Buster's off I-275. Around 900 cars showed up last week easy.

Wouldn't the tire's outside rolling diameter be more important that the rim size? On any size rims you have profile choices that directly impact the distance the tire would travel in one rotation.
