The Vector Avtech is one of my favorite cars, and claims to be capable of 250 mph. However, no confirmed tests have ever been done. My question is for someone who is rather good at physics, and very knowlagable about automotive running gear. Do you think it can really do 250? What does the math say it can do?
Here are the stats:
Twin-turbocharged 7.0 liter Oldsmobile V-8
1000 horsepower @ 5800 rpm with twin turbos engaged
700lb @ 4100 rpm torque
estamated 7000 rpm redline
3400 lbs
Michelen MXX3 tires
It seems like it would be powerfull enough, but the real problems are:
Could the tires handle such speed?
Would the car stay on the ground?
Would the transmission let it go that fast?
Thanks.
