for two great incarvideos.
McLaren F1 accelerating to 391km/h and a Lamborghini
Diablo to 340km/h. For the Lambo vid you have
to use the link to the Lamborghini homepage.
But take care ! These files are rather big !
Have fun

PS I also remember an article in some car mag in which they were comparing
speedo readings to radar ones.... sometimes they were out by as many as
20-30 km (up really high)

Hi Ross!
Don't know.
IMHO they took a faster driver! ;-)
Klaus
There has only ever been 1 proper road test with accurate timing
equipment done on the F1. That was by UK car magazine Autocar. They
clocked it at 230mph (370kph) but that was on the banked oval at
Millbrook and the banking scrubs off speed. This is the top speed figure
that has been published up until last year.
The footage is from a second speed run they did last year on a flat
straight piece of track in Germany I think. They got it to 241mph
(390kph) by tinkering a bit (I think they had the camber set at zero and
some other bits too) and they reckoned it could have gone a bit faster
if they had removed the wing mirrors too!

Most of the speedo readings on that page are incredibly optimistic. I
particularly liked the Polo G40 that was creeping up to Porsche
territory. No amount of "tuning" (around here, usually synonymous with
lowering your car until your have negative camber on all four wheels,
painting it purple, and installing a Remus coffee-can exhaust) will
extract that kind of performance from that car. someone needs to get
their physics books out. suggested reading would be the sections on drag
force, power and rolling resistance.

Notice in the clip that the driver gets the readout from what I assume
is a small digital readout on top of the dashboard.
