Mid Ohio top speed?
 
Does anyone have a rough idea of top speed in a stock-ish 86? Preferably an fa24 but either way.

My 1st gen tops at around 118 MPH, near the top of 5th gear on my '18 BRZ (manual, 4.3 diff). I can imagine 2nd gen will go faster (125 maybe?) and might require a shift to 6th.
I typically brake between the 5th and 4th cone markers. I have no power mods, do have mild suspension mods which probably help with exit speed out of the keyhole a bit. This is on endurance 200TW tires.

We make about 195rwhp but have a big wing and splitter so I'd imagine it will be close be just a few mph over your numbers. Man, that's a high top speed for a 2.2 mile track. We will be probably be around 120-120mph. Sheesh. I dont think I got over 115 at COTA.

The back straight in Mid Ohio is pretty long. A friend with a 981 Cayman GT4 peaks at close to 140 MPH.

My personal best with e85/JDL 421/4.3 rear diff was 121. I just did a JDL turbo update to mine so I'm going to guess that I'll get faster.

The highest I've ever heard of from anyone I know was 187 with a 2018 Porsche 911 GT2RS.

Yeah, for sure. Even the thought of it makes me nervous an hour and a half away from the track. :lol:

That's a good question. The driver is Jimmy Rauck (Rock's Trailer Sales if you live in Central Ohio) and my guess would be that he's braking deep. My daughter got to do a ride along at an autocross event with him and she said that was the fastest thing she had ever ridden in and she was hopping in between a lot of cars at autocross events for a few years.

Still, that car is insane. See it in person on any kind of track is eye opening.

downforce and tires help, but energy still increases exponentially.

122 for me, FA20 with E85.

Wing/Splitter

Assuming just a very mild build, and no weight reduction and good driver, 130-135, weather dependent. FA24/E85.

It's a WRL car you guys are pretty familiar with at this point :lol:

A large part will be dependent on how late you're willing to brake for China Beach
