• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

OH DOC/SETH.....you need to speed up

"No power assist" does not mean the engine isn't modified. It merely means that the engine does not run nitrous or a blower/turbo.

Ahhhh...thought so...amazing that some cannot read a speedometer...no way a spyder is going 200 mph...you're more likely to flip it over than go 200...think about the air getting under the front and lifting it up!

The clocks at the Texas Mile read in MPH. This is an apparent typo or an error recording the run. The clocks are photocells set up across the end of the course. There is no speedometer involved.
 
There is no way that Spyder did 200 mph. Someone needs to recalibrate their crack pipe.

Top actual speed (not Speedo) on a mildly enhanced Spyder (intake, exhaust & JB) might be as high as 130 mph and I think that may be generous.

Without running numbers my guess is you'd need about twice the HP to go another 70 mph with the frontal area of the Spyder.

With 200 kph = about 125 mph, this is the the only reasonable explination I can come to. But that throws everything else out of whack as a Busa will certainly do better than 250 kph = 155 mph.

Something is way off but it's for sure that Spyder didn't do 200 mph with anything approaching a stock motor.
