Why the Starion will ALWAYS be slower than the Cordia :P

My previous starion had a good suspension setup, it hugged the road very well, thing was when I would over take someone the bumps and hills in the road would become all too apparent throwing the car around and thrashing the chassis.

Now that made me laugh big time.

I got bored and decided you needed to be put back in your box.

KM 163 5 speed maunal cordia box ratio's
1st 4.226
2nd 2.365
3rd 1.467
4th 1.1.05
5th 0.855
reverse 4.109
final drive 5 speed 1.8 litre = 3.466
final drive 2 litre 5 speed 3.187
speedo gear ratio drive19/driven16

max mph = (rpm * tyre circumference) / (gearratio * finalratio * 88)

Therefore

Max mph = (rpm * tyre circumference (feet)) / (0.855 (5th) * 3.466 * 88)

max mph = (rpm * tyre circumference) / 260.78184

max mph = Given your page 1 redline of 6k... but for fun's sake we'll say 8k (bullshit@!)
max mph = (8000 * tyre circumference) / 260.78184

tyre circumference = 16 inch 50 profile, assuming 16x7 inch tire approx 215/50/16,

215 mm * 60 % + 8inches = 344mm / 2 = 172 mm tire height (rim to tread extreme), plus... 8 inches, 8 inches = 203.2mm, therefore tyre RADIUS = 375.2mm.

Circumference = pi * D = r= 375.2, D= 2r = 3.141592654 * 750.4 = pi * 750.4 = 2347.45113 mm, = 2.34745113 m. = 7.702 feet.

------

max mph = (8000 * 7.702) / 260.78184)
max mph = 61616 / 260.78184
max mph = 236.274 mph oh and your gearbox will explode.

Let's play with your REDLINE

6000 rpm = 177.20559 mph.
max KMH = 285.2 kmh

So, your game is over. Now shutup. No matter how much power you put through your engine you won't make it to 320 kmh due to your GEARBOX RATIO's. Now please, STFU and go away.

OH AND THE FUN PART???? I FORGOT TO INCLUDE FRICTION/AIR RESISTANCE. SO ASSUMING YOU CAN ACTUALLY MAKE THESE SORTS OF RPM in 5TH, You won't make these speeds because of DRIVETRAIN LOSS AND AIR RESISTANCE. Mmmmm. sexy. Again, STFU, go away. kthxbye.
