the cars that the press drove at the big event were on track key correct?, i assume that to be why the telemetry and some sites state more than 7500rpm. that said many of the tuners out there routenly push the 4.6 tunes rev liomiter several hundred or more up form stock, my brenspeed tune for my old 05 pushed it by 500.

 

rev limiter from the factory is 7500 rpm and hp stays flat through to the 8250 hardlimter in the ecu. I will have my limiter set at 7700 for reliability reasons...

 

Looks like the 285s only come in a Y rating but the 255 fronts come in both W and Y. I drove the GT500 today so can look at my tires when I get home. Either 168 or 186 mph if W or Y.

 

I don't think I'll get over 168 in the mile but I really don't want to be limited to 155.

It's not just the tires. All mechanical parts must be rated at or above the limit they place on the car. Look at the Buggatti. It's so expensive because all of it's parts are rated for over 200mph.

 

Including duct tape

sent by underground wire tap

 

Duct tape was used to repair a space shuttle for reentry. I think that qualifies for 200 mph!

 

Dude!! You have to post the numbers already!!

 

Whitewalls are notoriously underrated, though, so I may get some because I'd like to break 88mph.

 

C'mon mang!!! I've been following this thread since last Thursday. What's the flippin' hold up? We're talkin' bout horsepower numbers here, not nuclear missile codes. Please quit danglin the proverbial carrot and unass some dadgum numbers!

 

This EVO waiting game played out just like this last year when the 5.0 hit the streets...a couple of posts to get our interest then we had to wait for weeks to get the results

 

Getting the car and sheets tomorrow...I will try to scan and post, if not I can at least post the numbers. I am waiting for the ok as Fred is doing a vid and press release so if I post up before it makes the video not as cool. They are cool people and i want to respect Fred and Jon in their requests.

 

Hope they are paying you for their ad campaign and for keeping your car for a week.

 

LMAO, but true
When is that **** going to come out? The 2013s will hit the lot first at this rate

 

so am i the only one spamming the F5 key here? if i stroke out wondering what your car put down i will haunt you OP.

 

wow i had no idea the F5 key did that! cool!

 

lol yeah and clicking a link with teh scroll wheel or middle mouse button will automatically open a link in a new tab on your browser, assuming you are using a modern browser.

on topic, i bet they are working this car for a magazine story and we wont hear anything until the mag goes to press ot at least they can get it on a major pubs website.

 

Sti - why not cut her loose to 8250? Last high rpm engine i had was 1994 integra gsr w 8100 redline. It was only up there a few times per day, but those few seconds were incredible. I can't wait for mine - just got an april 25 build date!

 

update? your giving us all blue shifter ***** with this teasing
