[frankxinyu]

We need to start a new thread about how shit SR20's are...

says he with an S15

[donkey_punch]

We need to start a new thread about how shit SR20's are...

why we have a perfectly good one here

[TurboX]

Cause I read this whole damn useless thread and own a RB20 (and a Javelin) I am going to ask this:=

What RB could beat the following:-

Just for the record, we have now driven an AMC powered, AMC car, faster than anyone in automotive history.

The fastest recorded AMC top speed was set by Craig Breedlove in 1968 at Bonneville, at 189 mph in a 68 AMX with a supercharged 390 V-8. We did 192 mph without a blower.

No Mopar, Chevy or Ford could touch us at 190 Miles Per Hour! 190MPH AMC Javelin

[Col-GTSX]

What RB could beat the following:-

blah blah blah, edited and cut down to save space...

WTF?????

Are you smoking crack?????

The JUN R33 ran 212mph in Salt lake in 2001.... Is that good enough???

Also Top Secret ran a 1300hp R34 GTR in NZ at over 200mph... Click here

Also 192mph is a big claim to make without any evidence...

I call BS, Noel can you come and lay some BBQ sauce on this guy for me please...

[Nismo_Boy]

I smell a crack pipe

Just for the record, we have now driven an AMC powered, AMC car,

and what is this supposed to prove? Any r33 can go well above 200.. that's not 300, true, but with a bit of fiddling I am sure you could get it into the high 200's..

The top speed of my lexus is about 240km/hr. That's stock standard v8 from the early 90's Not that I've tested *that* one..

and the Tosspot of the Year award goes tooo *drum roll* TurboX!!!! :sorcerer:

make your way over and collect ur prize

[FineLine]

WTF, I can think of several rb powered cars that would blow that out of the water. Bonneville is a different world. Lets not forget they are given a mile to get up to speed before they run their timed mile. Shit, some of the lines here would go into warp speed under those conditions.

Mine does 260km/hr your just soft gordo.

He's talking about miles per hour...not km/h

200mph = 320kmh

Art's calculated, in-car time was accurate to within six tenths of one second over the ninety mile road course!

Seventy miles from the now distant starting line, we enter the first narrow canyon at a speed faster than we ever have in years before. Using caution, and keeping the speed at 130 mph, we glide though each turn as solid as a locomotive on banked rails. The posted highway signs recommend a maximum of 30 mph in the tight, high-wall canyon turns. We are streaking through corners at 100 miles an hour faster than that, but the Javelin feels stable. Use of both lanes during this race is the norm and one can only trust that no White Freightliner has gotten on the course by accident and is coming at you from around the blind corners. There is no sense in taking any unnecessary chances though this three mile area, so we don't. We were averaging 172 mph when we entered the canyon, and by the time we get back out on the flats, our average was down to 164 mph. Every second is critical, and the remaining 17 miles to the finish line must be taken as fast, but as careful as possible to try and make up the time lost in the "Narrows".

The last turn out of the canyon brings us into the "Breezeway". A 2.5 mile downhill straightaway with the wind at your back and as smooth as glass. This is the only area that will allow you to accelerate faster than you would normally be able to anywhere else on the course. As expected, we are gaining speed at a phenomenal rate and were clocked on radar at 192 mph! And the pedal was never fully floored.

The next right-hand turn brings us back to a "comfortable" speed of 180 mph as we re-engage "auto-pilot" for another ten miles. My wife Rhonda, and our good friend and "Crew Chief" Kevin Muckleroy were working the checkpoint at Mile 76, and as we passed by them at 180 mph we know we're almost 'home'. The last three turns on the course are fairly tight and must be taken with caution. 170 mph is our speed of choice. and as we exit the last left-hand turn, we are in the four mile straight towards the finish line. As we bring the speed back up to 180 or so, a slight head wind is encountered. Still, we crossed the finish line on radar at 181.6 mph! Elapsed time: 32 minutes, 21 seconds. Average speed for the ninety miles: 167 MPH. Top speed on radar: 192 mph.

Art's calculated, in-car time was accurate to within six tenths of one second over the ninety mile road course! A record in itself. As the driver, I am extremely impressed!

Only seven drivers of all makes of cars have ever averaged over 165 mph in the ten years of this event, and we now make it eight, putting an AMC car into the All-time, Top 10! We even put a six minute gap between us and the Callaway Corvette that left the line sixty seconds after we did! So much for the "Heartbeat of America", Huh? We also caught and passed the low flying, official chase airplane 82 miles from the start line!

Just for the record, we have now driven an AMC powered, AMC car, faster than anyone in automotive history. The fastest recorded AMC top speed was set by Craig Breedlove in 1968 at Bonneville, at 189 mph in a 68 AMX with a supercharged 390 V-8. We did 192 mph without a blower. He did that speed in a full-race, production car on a professional offroad course. We went faster with a street legal, stock-bodied production car. On street tires, through the mufflers and wearing a license plate.

We take nothing away from the achievements of the past, but must resign them to the past. After living through this incredible mixture of fantasy and reality, it is obvious to me now that "Great White" was, and is in fact, capable of better than 200 mph on the "street" or a track. Maybe yet another goal to accomplish.

Great WhiteThe reward of a feat well done is to have done it and not just dreamed about it. We take pride in this new modern-day AMC accomplishment. For our hobby, its people, and "the cause" of underdogs everywhere. It was important and needed to keep our AMC flag flying high in light of our company being departed from the American automotive scene. This was a day in the sun for American Motors. Three AMCs entered, and all three finished in fine AMC style. The combined AMC Racing effort consisted of our Javelin, Jim Weyand in his 1969 AMX that ran a 139 mph average and Dan Bruerton in his 1969 AMX that ran a 128 mph average. No Mopar, Chevy or Ford could touch us. Only one Unlimited Corvette was faster. Some folks would disagree, but for those who believe in American Motors, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not believe in AMC, no amount of explanation is possible. It was the ragged edge of insanity. But that is what all automobile racing is about.

[FineLine]

so even better. Tail wind assisted, downhill for 2 and 1/2 miles of glass smooth bitumen. I call a crockfull, Take it to bonneville and you wouldnt blow wind up breedloves record.

[predator]

Now you explain it all it actually makes sense! yes, we know we're talking miles..

I think most assumed bonneville salt flats, as in one flat course, but a course with actual corners and I'd say a very less than optimal Cd in an older shape car.. I give credit where credit is due.

So do I, and this is one very fast mofo car. But, to try and used breedloves run to enhance the creds is wrong. If i read this correctly the car enters a "downhill straight" with a "tailwind" on "glass smooth bitumen" already doing in the vicinity of 160 mph. Big differences as opposed to an aggressive salt pan on flat ground.

[r33_racer]

please excuse my ignorance...im too lazy to google it as i obviously dont care much for it..but what is an AMC exactly?

[shanef]

shit aye, he/she even knows how to copy & paste

[r33_racer]

shit shane..answer my question...is AMC some sort of brand ive never heard of?
