serious straight line speed.
Power to weight ratio is all about acceleration, not straight line speed.
Straight line speed is decided by the power output, the frontal area and the drag coefficient.

From what I can see the Viper uses a T-56 gearbox weighing ~54Kg?
Closer to 68 kg, whilst a standard T5 is roughly half that.

You know what, i think that the shear fact that there are people all over the world posting here discussing the chassis and putting in there ideas
thoughts etc is fantastic.
Keep it coming john and myself are having a great time reading them all.
Some agree some disagree on a few areas but then thats the whole point of, well, everything. If we all agreed on everything it would be a boring thing
life lol.
We will all find out next year how it works or dont yes we have got that in the back of our minds but then someone has to push the boundrys.
Any way who left 2 idiots alone to come up with such a stupid idea pmsl

I think it's fantastic and I can't wait to see it in the flesh.
Can't believe anyone would bother to criticise... it's not as if we're building to a standard template, or as if we're
building F1 cars or something. I mean, Christ! half the people here use Pintos*! Overweight, under powered, hardly suitable, therefore for a se7en
type car.... but no one criticises!
At the end of the day, Hicost has had over 400BHP for years in his Cossie se7en.... it hasn't broken (much!) yet!
Good on you for doin summat different.
Cheers,
James

OK!!!
Why do people try to analise everything on here? To impress?
This bloke is doing what HE wants and will have a brilliant car when it is done.
Most people try to analise too much.
All the best for the build and let us know the results.
