How is that 700+hp? 128mph is only like 550-575 hp dynojet at that weight which they do drop like 100 lbs from the mods and lighter wheels/tires.

Re: Hennessey CTS-V triggers OnStar emergency while drag racing

HP Calculator Formula: hp = weight * (speed / 234)^3

703.8hp = 4300lbs * (128mph / 234)^3

Weight is a bitch, how do you think Hondas run 130mph with 350whp and motorcycles do it with 100whp.

I read they weighed 3800, 4300 is a lot of weight.

And I also now see where Peter stated they weighed 4300 earlier. Wow they are heavy, truck heavy.

Re: Hennessey CTS-V triggers OnStar emergency while drag racing

I love my V. Mine is only 3850 lbs, the new ones are a lot heavier. Hilarious that it called on-star.

It's amazing how big the car is compared to the Talon, well over a foot taller and over 2 feet longer, plus all that modern stuff like airbags, crash zones, crazy electronics, etc. It's a piggy beast.
