Just wondering what kind of speeds the Honda challenge cars hit at Road America?

Well Honda Challenge doesn't really run at Road America, however in my old ep3 with 160whp i was hitting speeds of 124mph on the back straight into Canada Corner. I would say anywhere from 120-150mph easily. Main straight is a bit slower due to the hill taking a lot of momentum out of the car.

Actually we had.
I don't have a speedo in my H2 car, but based on ATS 4.93 FD in an ITR tran and 225/45-15 front tires, I was in deep 5th in a few sections of the track but not able to top it out. So it translated to low 130's. For 225/50-15, it'd be mid to high 130's.

Yeah i could see your car doing 130's easily there. My cars are all pigs with lower power, would be interested in seeing what the new EM1 project could do there. Maybe next year with a little more available budget for track time. Next year i don't think i'll be doing too much different to the car. Most of the big expenditures have been taken care of.
