are you taking air friction into account, no offense to the evo but its not the sleekest thing on the street....

also maybe it shouldnt be doin that speed....it might out handle a ferrari at speeds below 120, but above 150 i think the ferrari is in its environment...

 

Didn't the Norris Designs Evo 7 hit 202 mph? Maybe you could try asking them. They probably have more experience about top speed than anyone else.

 

damn.. i cant believe i 4got about Norris and his crazy Evo... thanks rebelzx

 

Rollaway,just go to your local DICK's store,or EMS (eastern mountain sports) if any are near by and pick up a hand held GPS( made for hiking)for around $100-150.00.They are
usually dead on to aprox. 1 mph,and lower end models aprox.20 feet,any where on this
continent.BTW,7800 is 184 on gps.(Yes,I am slightly ecu speed limited due to REV limit)

 

so youve hit 7800 and confirmed 184 with gps?

 

I had my evo topped out a last week on a long deserted highway. 5th showed 165 @ 7300. The guy on the CBR 900 RR was feelin a little shakey at that speed . Evo was so solid felt like I was doing 80 . He was impressed with the car . First and last time I will ever do that again.

so 165@7300 now i need to know what 8600+ is

 

I agree with Rollaway since I did 161mph at 7000 rpm , cant believe what 8600 is.

 

Correct.......,Like I had posted earlier,go get one of these hand held GPS
It works great .I have on more than one occasion needed it.Our speedo's suck ,160mph,LAME.BTW,Speedo's are also off aprox 7% at 160.

 

Rollaway if you want to borrow it for a nite I got one at , if you go down to ttrix or e-town i could meet you there...

i am def gonna take you up on that offer.. pm me with your cell#

thanks

man hell i live in the central valley i have a radar... if you want i'll shoot ur @$$ with it for free... it will read up to around 200 or so

 

^ nyc and ca arent what you would call close together..haha

 

wanna mail me your radar gun and let me borrow it?

 

i dont think you'll hit 199 mph as the evo is aerodynamically limited in general.. it would need better aerodynamtics like lets say a corvette or a ferrari to hit that speed.... the car is designed in an air tunnel to maximize cooling and downforce for speeds seen on a track... i wouldnt pull more then 140 on the evo for long... anything more and you may loose control or your tires will blow... check out the top speed of Noris evo, about 200 mph only on paper... even the mclaren F1 which is rated over 215mph cant really do that with stock tires as it will blister at 200....
