Me? I don't have any times for you, but my WRX is probably capable of high 13s in the cold weather with a good driver (not necessarily me :)) with traps somwhere in the range of 95-97 mph.
 
well i hooked my camry up to 180kmh in 4th gear...7200 rpm...i can feel a rebuild comin on...(to the XXXX tune, vat man would know what i mean)

Yeah - you'll find that. Cold air is denser so you get more in for each stroke of the engine. More air = more oxygen = good. It's especially good for turbos.

Yes, yes it is.

My WRX is designed to run at 13.7 psi boost on the turbo...I've been surpassing 15 psi when the temp drops into the teens. :)
 
damn 15 PSI is pretty damn high, annyone here of a Ford Taurus SHO? :D no not a regular taurus...kit and all :D nice ride.

Yeah, they're pretty quick. 225hp V6, I believe.

You'll see them autocrossing a fair amount too.

Oh, and 15 psi isn't that high...I know someone who hit 22.5 psi in his stock Supra TT the other day. Now THAT'S some boost!
 
yea 220 to 225, very quick for their power, and extremely efficient Yamaha Engines in then, they will do 60 in mid 6's without any use of a Turbo or a SC, i'm looking forward into buying a good used one, the also made a V8 one which is slower in accelaration but will do good quarter mile and high speeds too, check this out, the 1 st pic on the site u cant miss it http://www.v8sho.com

Yeah, I'd heard about the Yamaha engines in them. Pretty weird for a Ford, if you ask me.

(Edited the topic title, it was driving me nuts.)
 
yamaha engines...christ...what will they put in next??? go kart motors lol
 
? those Yamaha motors are amazing, u should hear how they sound, and run, ford did a test on 'em kept it to like 10,000 rpm's for hours, it's a great engine, and just the look of is unlike anything i've seen, they have the V6 SHO yamaha engine with a 3.2L engine and then they have the V8 3.4 :D
 
10 000rpm for hours...nah sorry i dont beleive that, it would cease up.
 
He's probably confusing a car engine with a motorcycle engine. Motorcycles use two-stroke engines much more often than 4-strokes, and 2-strokes can rev up to very high RPMs.
 
yeah thats what i think too...theres no way a car engine could rev that high for even 1 hour.
 
Well there are some that could if you made sure you had the right oil and cooled the engine enough. You'd also have to have a very short stroke. But I doubt he's talking about a 4-stroke engine unless those were very special tests.
