RE: 6.5 whoop whoop! Here is calculation for same truck at different speed. Air drag formula - X - is drag force Cx is Reinolds factor P - is the air density V - is the speed S - is cross sectional area Coze we have same Cx, P, S for simplicity we can drop them out. How speed change air drag: 50 mph X= 50x50:2 = 1250 55 mph X= 55x55:2 = 1512 60 mph X= 60x60:2 = 1800 65 mph X= 65x65:2 = 2112 70 mph X= 70x70:2 = 2450 Now let's talk about power you need to overcome air drag force Here is the formula to calculate: Sucks speed play here in cube! 50mph P= 1250x50 = 62,500 55mph P= 1512x55 = 83,160 60mph P= 1800x60 = 108,000 65mph P= 2112x65 = 137,280 70mph P= 2450x70 = 171,500 Make sense? Driving just 15mph faster require more then double power to use. In real life it even worst I don't consider aerodynamics of the truck Cx. | |||
