[TPR] Colorado Mile report

[B Hower]

David,Wondering what axle ratio, 4th ratio, and tire diameter do you run to get 145mph – 5000 rpm in 4th ??
 Bud #3400 ( Drive it like there is no tomorrow -- for there may not be ! )

BTW, you didn'tmention what your car ran? Having lived in Colorado while @ Fort Carson when inthe Army I definitely found out how higher altitude effects a cars'performance!! :o(( Thanks for sharing your adventure withus......................

Sigh . . . Had a nice chat with Adam Quella and met someother interesting Ford folks – how about a 200mph Ford GT with no turbos? Seems the altitude sucked a lot of power outof the normally aspirated folks?  My friend Carl ( http://www.carsbycarl.com/) came by to help me out, with Carl’s encouragement we got an extra 3mph out ofthe old yellow car. Car shown below ran a 186+, which I believe isthe fastest Pantera mile?  Only a couple of mph over Darrell’s best run atMojave. Rubber side down!  http://www.teampanteraracing.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6856&g2_serialNumber=2
