How fast does your jeep go?

[rangerdanger]

Ha my CJ tops out at 120 at 4000 or so rpm, anything past that is a deathwish  :'(

[FullMetalJeep]

When I was young and foolish and my XJ was still stock('89 4.0, 5spd), I topped it out at 180km/h.

1989?? so you would have been 37? j/k.

    My Rubi, on boggers, has seen 210 km/hr on hwy 16

I'd rather not admit to how fast I've had either jep but the tj goes faster than you'd think it would/should.

i had my parents jeep GC with 4.7 to 210, they it stopped going , it was 2am and the highway was dead no one for miles, i'll never do that again i like the low speed drifts around town now.

Blasphemy has been 160KPH+  on 35" Pitbulls and no swaybars with no issues,...

[The Machinist]

I'm sure this one hits 200kms.

I got my 1948 CJ2A up to 112km/hr.  

Remember when Scotty is telling the Captain that if he pushes her any farther she'll rip herself apart?

[JackstandJohnny]

last time out at waiprous, in the YJ (with no sway bars or track bars) i hit 155 on the speedo going down hill passing someone    


now 155 is roughly 130 haha......... and boy was it smooth

The WJ?  never actually pushed it cause i don't want it to 'stop going' aka blow it apart lol  i've hit 150 in it................ maybe whats more impressive is 140 all the way to Edmonton

I am sure I could get my Tj past 200km....... I just don't want to have to pay for the reapirs after I drop it out of a plane.

This got me to thinking. What is the terminal velocity of a jeep? I read this on wikipedia, it says a parachuter can hit 195 kph and could hit 320.   Could a jeep hit 200?   Who wants to donate their jeep for a test 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity

But this math is beyond me, maybe someone smarter than me could figure it out

When a Grand drives like a car, I don't think it counts against most sterotypical 2 door jeeps.

using this   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity

and yes... i'm bored at work   lol

this is what i get ... if i did it right ... seems kinda fast

***************************************************************

Vt = terminal velocity,

m = mass of the falling object,     
    = 1978kg    (TJ with I6 and hardtop)

g = acceleration due to gravity,       
   = 9.81m/s²

Cd = drag coefficient,                   
     = .55

p = density of the fluid through which the object is falling, and       
               =  1.2 kg/m³     (at sea level)

A = projected area of the object.
   = 2.963m²            1.750m (height)  * 1.693m (width) = 2.963m²           

 Plug all those in and you end up with 141.19m/s   


141.19m/s is equal to 508.28 k/h

So 508.28 k/h is the terminal velocity of a TJ falling nose down at sea level

Trevor ... here's a good use for your TJ ...     lets try it
