Average Rear Wheel HP or peak Rear Wheel HP? What chassis efficiency? What air? (California Dreamin or John Langer east coast Mine Shaft air?)
Just messin' with you Tom! (Got tired of working on the SSer and was taking a break)
Our RA-V 69 TA made around 860HP(440 cu in) and went almost 147MPH (3500lbs w/driver). About 10 years afterwards I took the tires and wheels off and weighed them when I got the new SS wheels and tires. The SSer total weight for a 14.5 X 33's including 14 inch Monocoques was 42lbs. The old centerlines with slicks were 65lbs. With all the drive train technology of today that car would be well over 150MPH. I will admit that the Doug Nash 5spd helped a bunch.
