Calculating Top Speed
by Subachad on Feb.03, 2010, under Automotive
Wondering how much power it will take to get your car up to 200 MPH? Here’s an equation to help you find out. (this information is from August 2001 Sport Compact Car)
Aero Horsepower: Drag x Speed or HP at the wheels
Frontal Area: Amount of Frontal Area (large hood scoops, mirrors and bumper openings add to this and decrease your top speed.
Cd: Coefficient Drag.
Speed: In MPH
Aero Horsepower (wheel horsepower) = 0.000007 x Frontal Area x Cd x Speed3
Unique Motorsports and then some.
Welcome to Unique Motorsports. This site was originally intended to share my automotive experiences. It has since grown to show random life events, tech stuff I deal with on a daily basis, random ramblings and showcase some of the tuning part installs I do in Las Vegas. While I mostly do Subarus as a recommended Mechanic for Flat4. I do other cars as well. If you are looking to have some lowering springs, shocks, struts, exhaust, bushings, FMIC, chassis braces, or anything else installed on your import or domestic in Las Vegas, send me an email and maybe we can set something up.
I'm not the Unique Motorsports you see on Speed Channel.
For site updates, you can subscribe to the RSS feed or follow me on Twitter.
Feel free to email me if you have any questions or to setup an install in Las Vegas.
Please support my site by setting this homepage as your key search page.
