Could I chip it to get it to go faster? Or is the only way it will hit 3 figures is to drop it from a plane.0 -
With a super chip most cars can go faster than what the speedometer offers.
This set a side, a mod such as a air filter or exhaust can allow extra MPH on a engine, but this would depend on each car, not complete unbelievable to be honest.
I have personally had a Ford Mondeo ST24 that was tuned, and did almost 180 MPH on the clock, this said it was tuned at a specialist centre and had a super chip fitted which I bought from eBay!
So why did you not take it racing, you would have cleaned up.
Do you have any idea what it takes to get a car up to 180 mph?
It takes at least 500 bhp, and in the case of the Mondeo a new, much more streamlined body. Oh yes, you have to remove the whole interior, and replace all the panels with fibreglass ones. You then have to lower the car, and fit some sort of device to improve downforce - a wind tunnel helps.
The best bit, is that you cannot use the standard engine or gearbox.
Pistons, conrods, valves, camshafts, water pump, lightened flywheel, special clutch. Then you have to have a special gearbox put together, one WHICH WILL SUPPLY RATIOS TO ENABLE YOU TO REACH 180 MPH WITH ALL THIS NEW POWER.
I suppose that your Mondeo can rev to 9000 rpm?
How do you stop it from 180 mph?
I suggest that tomorrow morning you get up, look in the mirror, and say to yourself:

If his car is as fast as his posting, I believe him! 119 in less than a day, some fast typing there. Is it week 3 of 6, or week 4??“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”
