Unlikely, Drag increases as a square of the velocity. i.e. to just go 10mph faster you need an extra 100hp. That is horsepower required to overcome aerodynamic drag alone, not including tire resistance, engine and transmission drag. And this also assumes all power at the wheels is transferred (which we all know it isn't).Cannonball wrote:jeez if that can run that on a ropey old inline six and one lagging great turbo what the hell is marks cuda gonna run 6,ss maybe
Anything done to increase down force (and I would suggest on any road car converted to racing you'd want to do something to increase down force - or at least reduce lift) will result in more drag. Increases in drag will increase power requirement as a cube law. So for every 10 counts (0.010) of the Cd you add you will need another 10 HP (roughly).
No idea what the Cd of the Cuda started out at but I'd safely assume you'd be in the 0.450 area.
So if, you want to be in the 6.00's, I'd suggest you not only need a crazy engine setup, but also a well developed aero package. Lift/Drag efficiency needs to be maximized.
