No, 100% stock interior, ARH, no cats and NPP. If you listen closely, I missed 5th on that and every other pass

It's a lot of fun and I've met some great people there. Thanks for the compliment

Ive been 150 in my Bolt on 2010 with stock suspension and I wont do it again till it gets upgraded. With your horsepower 200 should be there but it better be a long road!

Mine has seen 145 a few times. Feels as stable as it does at 75. At those speeds you run out of road really fast. I was just telling my wife I need somewhere safe to see what itll really do.

145 felt just fine.

155 was a blast. Felt just as stable as 100 to me.

A vented hood is supposed to keep the front end from lifting.

Forgot about that. Makes sense on why the later ones are more stable

My 2012 was plenty good until 140 stock, above that was iffy.
I put on a SLP-style front lip + a 1" drop... Now it's plenty stable to 170. Haven't had it above that yet.

1911 1LE · 08-20-2019, 05:52 PM

Things I remove for better aerodynamics: drip tray, side mirrors, rear spoiler and rubber seal at the back of the hood.
Things added: lexan panels covering most of the upper and lower grill and a belly pan

Why the spoiler out of curiosity? Sure it adds drag but I would think it has to add even a little bit of down force aka. stability at speed. For sure a blade or wickerbill would add some downforce in my mind.

Greenhornet2 · 08-20-2019, 06:03 PM

I don't know the answer to that but I was reading on some of the older cars when they added spoilers it added downforce to the rear, yes but that made the front end lift worse.

How much distance does it take to reach 170?

The car is very stable without the spoiler. Example, hold a 2x2 board 5ft long out the window at 55mph,then multiply that 3.5. Alright, don't really do that, but without that extra drag you might pick up 2-3mph in a mile. Check out member "SSE42SS" build of "Brandi". That will answer all your questions about going "fast" and then some

. We use the same shop
