161. RE: Larry Is Right (score: 1): Author: Andy McKee <andrewmckee@yahoo.com>; Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2000 19:22:45 -0800 (PST); Yep, top speed is a "drag" race, but remember it is Cd*A. While the Miata Cd may kinda suck, I would suspect the cross sectional frontal area is quite a bit less than a Corvette. -Andy Do You Yahoo!?; /html/ba-autox/2000-01/msg00146.html (11,303 bytes)
162. RE: Larry Is Right (score: 1): Author: Andy McKee <andrewmckee@yahoo.com>; Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2000 21:11:33 -0800 (PST); I wish them luck with the top down. With the hardtop they should (all else being equal) be able to come close to the Corvette. And power required to overcome drag goes up by the cube of velocity. -An; /html/ba-autox/2000-01/msg00151.html (12,854 bytes)

At sea level (for standard air density) they would need the following hp, neglecting all other losses except what is required to overcome air drag...

Re: Rotary torque & noise (score: 1): Author: Andy McKee <andrewmckee@yahoo.com>; Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 10:29:42 -0800 (PST); I'll give you a gold star if you can say where the 33000 comes from without looking it up. So, by your logic I will accelerate faster with 500ft-lbs at 5000rpm than 500ft-lbs at 1500rpm? -Andy Do Yo; /html/ba-autox/2000-01/msg00175.html (8,330 bytes)

Re: Larry Is Right (score: 1): Author: Andy McKee <andrewmckee@yahoo.com>; Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 11:09:02 -0800 (PST); At the higher altitude air density will be less, meaning you will get a linear decrease in the power required to overcome air drag. How much decrease will depend on ambient conditions at the time of; /html/ba-autox/2000-01/msg00188.html (8,798 bytes)

Re: Rotary torque & noise (score: 1): Author: Andy McKee <andrewmckee@yahoo.com>; Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 11:13:52 -0800 (PST); Unfortunately, the peak torque figure is also "little".:-) I liked the one magazine test where they did full throttle acceleration with an S2000 and shifted at 5500rpm (instead of 9000), resulting i; /html/ba-autox/2000-01/msg00189.html (8,758 bytes)
167. Re: Rotary torque & noise (score: 1): Author: Andy McKee <andrewmckee@yahoo.com>; Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 13:59:49 -0800 (PST); Actually, I was looking for 1hp = 550 ft-lbf/s and 60 sec/min to get the 33,000, with the real question being where the 550 came from (typical English unit garbage). Two means to the same end. I just; /html/ba-autox/2000-01/msg00198.html (10,442 bytes)

169. Re: Rotary torque & noise (score: 1): Author: Andy McKee <andrewmckee@yahoo.com>; Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 16:38:36 -0800 (PST); So how come it is 746 watts per hp? You're still missing the question. Unit conversions are fine and dandy, but I was wondering how 550 ft-lbf/s became 1hp. *snipping extreme Clements verbiage* Mike; /html/ba-autox/2000-01/msg00207.html (10,038 bytes)

Re: Rotary torque & noise (score: 1): Author: Andy McKee <andrewmckee@yahoo.com>; Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000 23:26:15 -0800 (PST); Yes.:-) I was trying to think of the source of confusion here and it may have to with the following.
