Gear ratios / top speed et al...
If anyone out there has any input it would be greatly appreciated. I'm doing land speed racing these days and according to an online calculator I found the stock gear ratio in the S2K is capable of doing 201.8 mph at 9000 rpm in 6th gear with 255/35R18s on the rear. Any ideas if that's about right?
Thanks,
Larry

Clutch going in second week in October right after my custom exhaust install. The OEM is already fried. LOL. It lasted about all of 2 weeks after I got the turbo up and running. Oh well. Differential will be next...

So what about the hard top? I would think that a hard top would be a must for safety, and it would make the car more aerodynamic. I have been wondering for a while how much faster the top speed would be on a stock S2000 just by adding the hard top (especially the Mugen top).

Hard top is in the works but won't be on the "can do" list until spring. And yes I will be going with a carbon fiber top like the mugen. That alone will give me an additional 7-10 mph top speed.
