I read once that the theoretical top speed of a Vyper is 300Mph without restriction but i imagine the same or more could be achieved by the Bugatti too without restriction...

I also read an artical once about a guy who had his Vyper stolen, it was recovered but without an engine. So being an engineer himself he just built one. It was a 10.5 litre, 64 valve, W16, quad turbo engine coupled to a custom made 7 speed twin clutch gearbox and produced 1300hp. He tested its top speed once but said he lost his nerve at 250mph in only 4th gear. That car could do "silly speed miles per hour". If only there was a road long enough.

the restrictions you are talking about are the laws of physics..

Thats not what i meant at all...Aerodynamics etc wouldn't be a problem, though it is true that the power required to make speed increases above 200mph is massive. In fact the only real thing stopping them would be lack of un off space and the fact the tyres would prob explode.

Default Re: the fastest

the main restriction on a cars top speed, i think would be the gear box

the more gears you have, will allow you to put a much higher final drive ratio in without putting a strain on the motor, it will help provide constant acceleration, but i geuss your top speed would be whenever your rpms max out in the final gear
but i heard the biggest gear you could possibly run would be the size of your flywheel, i thought i heard that somehwere, i could have just made it up
i think aerodynamics just make it take longer to get to top speed, i wouldnt think they could limit it
just put on some NHRA drag tires

i know i spelt a few words wrong myself, but theres no "y" in Viper or in tires
