I know that you guys are among the best but have you ever boosted a SlingShot to 180 MPH? If so how did you do it without major aerodynamic changes?
Thanks
Cape
Alfa,. can you make the equipment to make a SS achieve 180 MPH?

I hate to say this. But you couldn't push it out of an airplane and get it to fall at 180mph!
You might strip all the plastics off and fashion some sort of a beak to cut through the wind. But at that point it wouldnt be a slingshot. It would be a rail job with a nose cone.
And that wouldn't be to hard to push into the 170 180 range. But who the hell would dare put one of these twitchy things over 150mph?
I have pushed mine up to 135 and it was still pulling very hard in 5th gear. But it gets really squirrely at those speeds... so I back out every time.

I may not want to go 150 or even 130 but I do want to get to whatever speed I want as fast as my wallet allows!

I already knew the answer but I owe a $50 Sonic drive in gift card if I'm wrong!

You're safe Cape - your $ can stay in your pocket.
The reason he brought this up is there's a moron on TDS who swears he's driven his "350 HP Stage 2 Alpha turbo-powered Slingshot" at 180 MPH. LOL!
Here's my reply when he posted it...

Must have his gauges set to kilometers per hour ..... doing 111.85 MPH doesn't even require a big hill

Even though I've been gone for a while I still have the smartest friends here.

Ross, he was challenged on that & he said, it was MPH, not KPH.

Well if you're going to lie and lie big I guess you better be ready to ride the lie big

I wish that was the case but in PMs Craig proved he was truely in need of adult guidance . He is not a member here but on the (old forum). RAB - broke out - good on him!

I am going to throw mine on a unloaded dyno and do 180mph to get that $50 gift card! ha
Crazy people and their crazy stories...

I will not share his PMs but I would find a Uber driver to find my way home if I was him.

I am just mad that I spent time reading that thread.

Which thread was it ?

on the other site...you can't miss it. I refuse to even mention the title.

I dont think it would run that fast on the dyno.. but it might. I know I have seen 147ish on the dyno. But that was in 4th

You guys kill me with your dry humor. Of course BR4 wanted to know the outcome... We all knew the answer but this is kind of what forums are about. Give and take. There are bountiful grounds here (shit filled) but a bountiful harvest of knowledge and friendship. I have not owned a SS for over a year but I still have great friends here.

184 mph in 5th gear at redline. -
You guys scare me (and I'm no candy ass!)
