A car falling from the air reaches terminal velocity when the force of air resistance pushing up against the car is equal to the force of gravity pushing the car downward. At this point, the car is no longer accelerating, but falling at a constant speed. The terminal velocity for cars would vary according to weight and the physical position of the car falling downward, but it's usually a very healthy 120-130 miles an hour at top speed, which I'm sure this Supra could take. Jared. Terminal velocity of 120-130 is average for humans the velocity of that supra would prolly be 150+. In a delta a human can hit 210+!!! P.S. A delta is a position in skydiving.[/b] it would probably depend a lot on which way the car fell. if it took a nose dive, it'd fall a lot faster than if it fell "flat."

I have a video clip showing a Z running neck to neck with a R1 or GSXR1000. It'd be interesting to see how that particular Z will run against this Supra. BTW, these are the clips that I've been looking for for a while! I first saw them a few months ago, then I forgot where I found them! UBRF.org , Western New York's Premiere Automotive Forum. Yeah, I got some bolt-ons. Car Pics Video of Brullen cat-back on a \'95 SE How-to: Short Shifter for Pre-98 MTX "heres the deal $2 grand buy in winner gets the cash and the girl and the respect.

The guy he raced on the bike pulled a 10.3 at the track, so that gives you a frame of reference to how fast his car is. Go to www.hybridz.org to learn about all the crazy V8 datsuns out there, hopefully soon I will join their ranks! James SVT with CE light mod and a camera mount.
