if you floor a car until it reaches its absolute top speed, do you think the rpms will be in the red? ;<
no most likely not if your still running the stock gearing/transmission... they make several precautions for that, the final gear is usually alot larger than the car can push, and there are rev limiters and such. but if it was possible the only way i could think if is if your already going top speed while flooring it and you go down a really steep hill or something, but its unlikely
turbo vs all motor..........which is better? and what is your reason for sayin that?
i personnaly like turbos better. i dont like all of those all motor, no slicks kinda rules. im more of a my car vs yours kinda way. if its out there i say its legal, turbos can increase hp somtimes by 100%. all motor is for sanctioned drag racing and for some muscle cars.
