    noony - if speed/weight had no correlation, how come mr f couldnt catch mr p on the straights in the go kart. Power / Weight ratio is where it all starts off yer mug.

    Anyway, whats crack on Saturday? Quick head count please....?

    because weight affects acceleration moreso than top speed...

    the more weight in the car means more downward force. gravity is taking effect more on the car, tyre pressure will change, the whole force = mass x acceleration comes into things.

    Therefore, mass = force / acceleration

    rearrange...

    acceleration = force / mass thus meaning you need to either put more force in (torque) or a lower mass. Top speed will be hampered mate.

    I got an A in Physics A Level as well as Maths / Furhter Maths / Computing / Chemistry

    Hi Guys,

    just a heads up, I used to be a lot more regular here when I had my 348GTS & still lurk occasionally ;)

    I've always posted here re vmax in the past however, this one filled up within a few hours of me mentioning it on pistonheads. I will be doing another one in the new year & will post about this when the time is right.

    In the meantime if anyone is interested drop me an email as I dont operate a regulars 1st policy, it is first come first served. It's a great day out and a few of the chaps from fchat who have come before had a great time.

    Fcars that have participated so far:

    360CS
    F360
    F360 spider
    F355
    F355spider
    512
    348GTS
    328GTS

    Non fcars, you name it, most have been there.
