Galant VR4 goes 218mph

[biglady112]

Then backs it up going 216mph. My friend I was suppose to be at speedweek helping called and told me.

There is some information on Team NABR as well.

On another note. He coasted to a 192mph pass to qualify for the lond course tomorrow. Hoping to do over 220mpg in his 1G. 230 if the planets align. And he has still yet to use fifth gear in his car.

What the? What in the world powers that thing??

Steven, was this using the 25% taller fifth gear we spoke about over on the DSMLink boards?

 

That's insane for such a brick.

Not sure on the details of this car to be honest. It has a TRE decal on the rear fender. From what I hear, it has a GT42 on it.

"Wheel Drive, and set a new record of 203.4 mph, making it, we believe, the first 4-door sedan over 200 and for sure the first 2.0-liter production class sedan over 200 mph. "

 

"This full-size (think shoebox) stock-bodied sedan running in G/PS (G=2.0-liter engine, 120 cubic inches -- Production Supercharged)"

cool non the less /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif I think it would have been neat to see it going 200+ with stock sleeper colors

I'm guessing they don't have a separate designation for turbo vs supercharger.

Exactly, just means forced induction from what I can tell.

Well, technically a turbo is an exhaust-driven supercharger.

 

It is not "technically" a supercharger, it _is_ a supercharger, albeit not a positive displacement, engine-driven style. In fact, when used with aircraft engines, turbos were referred to as "turbosuperchargers". See: turbosuperchargers

read my wording again /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

There are several types of superchargers, with all of them doing the same thing ultimately; forcing more air (and consequently more fuel) than possible under atmospheric conditions, creating additional displacement beyond the physical size of the cylinder(s). Naturally, that creates by-products, such as heat and higher compression (ratio), etc.

I posted about this car a while back. It was last year when he broke the record and he broke it again this year.
