chances are you aren't going 90 the wind resistance between like 30 and 60mph doubles, it will prob just triple that at 90.

p.s why dont you just use one of the speed calculators to get a rough estimate

Turn on a gps, solidly duct tape it to your steering wheel, and go on the flattest straightest piece of road. Once you feel you've hit your max, go into the gps's menu and see the max speed hit. Also, r97, I'm unsure about your calculations of wind resistance. I'm not sure if it increases in nice clean amounts like that. It may increase exponentially.

yea im not perfect but i've heard (i've heard!) that from like 40 to 60 it doubles in wind resistance, any way i'm sure there is some huge variable. like redsox said test with gps

Dear freeman508,

Please use one thread. It's not super tough.

Thanks,
The WHOLE forum.
