Hi,
Yesterday, on a closed road, I attempted to reach the speed I normally reach on this particular track, 260kmh/162mph. But despite several attempts I could not get past 230kph/143mph. The car felt unhappy and indeed earlier in the day I thought it was idling roughly.
Now I will say there is a slight imbalance in one or more wheels and a thought occurred to me as to if this could affect me reaching the previous speed? I know its unlikely but given the extreme forces at these speeds (the multiplication of the weight imbalance x high wheel rpm), could this hinder speed?
Could it be contaminated fuel?
Any thoughts?
Pat.
