My 200mph budget build

My 200mph budget build(now sponsored!!)

Im currently in the process of building a car that will do 200mph within the space of 1.7miles, with only a budget of £10,000

Just wondered if anyone would be interested in learning about it(got loads of pics etc)

 

[Peter Diffey]

Yes

 

[Antipasti]

Interested? I'll subscribe!

 

[PeterNem]

No

 

[Muncher]

What kind of power are you looking at?

From experience to be able to do that speed on a runway of that length and be able to stop in it you will need 650-700bhp.

Does it involve toasters?

 

[PeterNem]

No, just a flux capacitor

 

[Begbie]

Intrested

Thats what i was thinking, shed loads of power to get for 10k.

 

[lewism]

so basically it might do 150mph once. then blowup?

Depends what car hes starting with i guess in terms of the power hes gonna need.

Is it some sort of space frame arrow shaped car ? Id like to know more!

Very interested.. Not sure this will end well lol.

Cheap scooby and big boost?

 

[peterattheboro]

Cheap R32 and very big boost (x2 )?

 

[TaKeN]

Something similar was shown on Fifth Gear recently IIRC?

Only to an extent, the coeffeicient of drag won't make that much difference, neither will the weight, just sheer power is needed.

Your looking at £5k minimum for R32 GTR (x2) More closer to £8k normally

Didn't 5th Gear attempt this with a Lotus Esprit.

 

[Happy]

Post up some more details then

Turbulance will play a large part on a car at high speeds. It's why cars such as the Buggati Veyron changes shape at a higher speed, to deflect wind a lot more effectively. Weight will make a huge difference at 150mph+ speeds.
