So far, my research has found the fastest 4 cyl subie is 165 mph in the half mile and 201.1 in the mile and a half.
They were running just under 650 whp. 225 wide, 19 inch wheels.
No flat bottom plates, stock bumpers, but said they could have squeezed a couple more mph with an air dam.
Their newer car, hasn't posted nearly as good results, but I think it is due to technical problems, they were posting speeds 30 mph slower with an advertised 50 more whp.
Me with the 1600* hp brz
Me with ali afshar

Last time we straight ran from a dig on asphalt we ran 148mph in a standing 1/4 a 165mph would be easy with 1/2 (I got radar'd by the police on Industrial Blvd 2 years ago doing 178mph top of 5th from the freeway to Hall from a roll and it's .48 of a mile)
What you need to speak to your builder about is thermal load and aero extraction which would be the two biggest points for a Salts flat outside of the obvious stability and low drag stuff!

Thats why there are astrisks next to 1600 when i wrote it. Then again i didnt put a cliff note.....my bad lol.
The key is being 100lbs soaking wet like ali so you can even fit into that small SOB.
Edit: i was actually thinking Bout alis 2.5 wrx when i brought it up since his youtube video says worlds fastest wrx 1100 hp lol.
Is that the one you are thinking of slide?
The brz has a twin turbo 6cyl so i wasnt refering to that just mentioning it since i posted about esx.

Well, I forgot to measure the space between the fan assembly and the pully's.
I just got off the phone with Ron Davis radiator. Anyone with a '13 or '14 (he says they have different part numbe than 08-12)
I need to measure the distance, how much space...
