The Moon probably isn’t the best place to set a speed record. Too much dust and not enough air.
Argh, I thought it was pretty clear…
The 652km/h speed I listed is a “theoretical” top speed with a car that was tuned entirely within the game and not had any external modifications to its. Lua file directly. Of course, the engine has an mbtf of 0 because the rpm limit is deliberately set too high to allow certain gearing to be possible, and there is no ventilarion whatsoever. It’s just an academic number which can change with various approaches.
Somebody else nodded their file to produce a car that hits the hard limit of final drive, you can see that run and the user there clearly stating it was “super hacky” 
I haven’t posted any hacked files here yet.
Oh, it just occurred to me that your cars engine can’t break on the track, so it doesn’t matter what the max RPM is.
Yeah coz technically, you can set the redline to way too high and all that means is that if you rev the engine too high it’ll break. So on the track the simulation doesn’t actually over-rev the engine (because there’s no power data, so how can it), all it does is allow the top speed to go higher despite final drive limitations.
In real world conditions however, for production cars, that’s clearly not a good idea as unless you know what your car’s redline is, if you do give it the boot chances are you’ll be picking up pieces of block from all over the road…
Like this example here.
Oh wow, poor guy 
The redline for the TSC is 8600, which is the litteral max it can hold before it blows. I can assure you, there is no modding.
Note: with a post-ventilation reliability of 0.1, I can get speeds of 580km/h. It’s only by sealing off all the vents that speeds of 600+ seems possible. I’ll also add that with some rebalancing, I’ve managed to push things to… well, quite a lot faster again.
Niiice but a YouTuber by the name YBR. “WhyBeAre” Beat you. Just. With 400.3 MPH
I did notice that! But by the time I saw that video we’d blown past it. I have a build running 672km/h at the moment… Though I don’t think whybeare was looking to break any records so much as be ridiculous
UGH! Fine…
If only just to appease some random new user, who’s more than likely here to promote his own damn youtube video. Here.
…Asshole.
Ah, he was wrong about the speed record, but don’t go off on him about the video link. The Youtuber he linked to has nearly 150k subscribers; they don’t need free advertisement.
That being said, should I up the ante and post details of my current build?
Well, I don’t see why not, go right ahead and do so!
Very well. Here’s the upped ante then:
Clearly engine reliability is 0, after ventilation. By itself the engine does have a greater than 0 reliability. The trick is balancing the minimum aero with weight, seeing Vos’ build tipped me off.
Are you running that in the supercar shell!? That’s impressive, I didn’t think more than about 2780 was possible.
Negative. Stuffed that in the '50’s body. But still. I can’t break 407 in the supercar. It’s fucking annoying.
Put a couple of lips (and only lips, no wings, too much drag) on the front and the back, make the undertray fully clad (I think you already have done this), set all aero angles to 0. Make the wheels 19" and start lightening until the tyres blow, and go from there. If you’re still not breaking 403, increase power.
There IS a solution with no lips and a downforce tray only but it’s very slightly slower, though for the purposes of drag nearly identical.
God dammit. What more can I do?
I hate you Strop. I hope you get the most angry and vicious ass cancer known to science and die a death so agonizing, Satan issues a public apology.
