Goodyear asked! 210 mph Superbird video

Interesting!

 

[pnora]

Oh the drama.

To get the air to stay attached to the backlight for lowest drag required a rake angle like this.

She’s bad ***. I can’t imagine driving anything 211 mph!

That's a really long straight and it sure seemed smooth. if I were younger I'd do it no problem.

Same here

Not sure I have the nads to try it today.

Best Ive been is in the 140-150ish mph range , on 2 wheels and THAT was damn fast
I was going past 140 last I ckd and then god tapped me on the shoulder and said fast enough sonny.



Never did it again after that. Sold the bike maybe 2 years later. 1988 Suzuki GSXR 750

I was in my late 20s I think ( mid 60s now )

Wild little lady. I backed out at 175 in my Viper. Ofcourse I was on a public highway and only a 1.5 mile straightaway.

That looked like a gas! Fortunate for her she’s got the car and the opportunity to take it somewhere to run it.

#9 is set way lower both front and rear

That woman gives me impure thoughts.

You thinking she was running two-stroke gas?

 

[Kern Dog]

It would take more than two strokes.

It is. I wonder what the drag number is.
You’d have to get more air over the top to have laminar flow over the back glass for less drag.
Maybe that modified front accomplishes it.

Pam does it all the time!
