Who said 300 HP. I didn't hear or read that. Nor did I say that.
Who said anything about 220 MPH? Not me? Since we racers are the most
optimistic lot in the world, I expect to go lots faster than 220. Thats
only fairly fast :=D
Horsepower?
I never said 300 HP.
More than 300 for the N/A and lots more than 600 for the blown motor. At
altitude.
.28 Cd on the Merk.
Do you have specific datas that indicate a .5 Cd on a lakester?
If so can/will you please share it with the rest of the group? With a lack
of real data, how do you arrive at a value of .5?
But lets not quibble. I'm gonna go racing.
