There's something off with that 2014 Cup car setup, also. They should have been able to hit 230 to 240 because they were at 215+ in the limited straights of Michigan/Indianapolis, that year

[@JayStephens8]

@@v8ramair145 yah I think Greg biffle did a test at Texas world speedway in 2009? With an unrestricted engine I believe and they said he got to like 235 at the end of the front straight even with the really worn out surface

[@v8ramair145]

​@JayStephens8 wonder if it's the gearing. I compared 200-214 mph here vs michigan in 2014 and they are nearly identical times. However, it hits a wall here at 217 mph and cant climb further. It seems the gearing is set to possibly top out this speed, which is around 9200-9300 rpm. Would be interesting to see if higher gears would see a difference in the sim.

[@gregrowe1168]

@@JayStephens8Rusty Wallace did a similar test at Talladega in the early 2000s with an unrestricted cup car. He managed to reach 240 mph. The crew had to add extra weight to the front of the car because it was trying to lift because of the extreme speed. He only ran 3 or 4 laps and the tires were completely worn out too.

[@axshunjaxon4561]

It’s all gearing, an old 5th gen Dodge did 240 on the salt flats one year, so I’d imagine somewhere in that range. They use to fly at Michigan and Fontana too, it would be crazy to see a 2011-14 car be let loose

A dragster geared right would hit 600

[@horsecrazyviking7121]

Need to test this

[@daanishrajahussain-fn5bx]

Would the engine not explode a distance this long?

[@Maverick9k]

​@daanishrajahussain-fn5bx it absolutely would, the engines are designed to put out maximum power for that 1/4 mile while also being as light as possible. That's why the engines are rebuilt from practically the ground up after every pass.

[@v8ramair145]

With that power for the given drag coefficient, I believe a rough calculation would be around 500 to 600 mph. Even though the engine would explode within several seconds of WOT, I'm wondering if they could build a similar output engine, but no 500 cubic inch restriction, so it would have more longevity, with a similar output of 12000 hp

[@joshawott331]

Are you dumb? The ir18 hits those speeds all the time

[@lincolncampbell2014]

NASCAR Faster than Ferrari 499P?

[@emanulecasillas9349]

They probably put it in its higher horsepower and low downforce setup, which wouldn't be run in any race.

[@Maverick9k]

Oh yea, Nascar has the power and the weight to achieve incredible speeds, this is most likely it's super-speedway setup, and even then the car is restricted. I would love to see what an unrestricted Nascar could do.

[@jasonwiggins]

​@@emanulecasillas9349No. This was clearly the car from Daytona or Talladega. They have restrictor plates. If you take off the restrictor plates, it would have easily gone 230-240.

[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

Yes! More power and less drag

Nascar's top out at about 180-185 by themselves, they need drafts to go any faster. Also, the Indycar has 6 gears why was it stuck in 4th?

[@v8ramair145]

The nascar car shown is 2014 where they had 920+ hp. They hit 215+ that year in race trim in the straights of Michigan and Indianapolis. They are easily capable of 230 to 240 in similar trim. With a few aero mods, brad keselowski's dad hit 271 in the salt flats. 180 to 185 is what you're seeing in 2022+ NextGen aero with very reduced horsepower.
