rear wheel torque

rear wheel torque

rear wheel torque

(OP)
I've been able to determine that with a rear wheel torque of 322ft/lbs my speed limit is 207mph.

All factors being equal:

cross section 5.8385 f^2
cof. of drag 0.6
rolling resistance 0.02
air pres 2124.00424 lbs/f^2
density of air 0.07411 lb-mass/f^3
temp 77

How can I compute what the needed wheel torque is at higher speeds?

Yes all of thee are actual numbers, not a simulation.

RE: rear wheel torque

Please don't cross post. I have answered your query in the aerodynamic forum.
