[QUOTE="Primaris, post: 4048088, member: 9053"] Well yes and no. We will ignore the speedometer error since for this discussion it doesn’t matter. A smaller tire diameter will let you get to redline in 5th gear faster, but you will be going slower than redline in 5th with a larger tire. Now in 6th a stock car should not be able to go faster than in fifth. We just don’t have the hp for it. But, with the smaller tires you might be able to hit the same speed as in fifth. How fast do you want to go? [url]http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/aerohpcalc.html[/url] or [url]http://home.earthlink.net/~jonaa/topspeed.html[/url] I believe the frontal area is 26.33 sq. ft. and drag is 0.36 [/QUOTE]
