I'm wondering what the fastest achievable speed is on the ground using only car wheels and the car engine without mods? My top speed is 405Mph. What is the highest speed you can reach?

@WNP78 ok
@Minecraftpoweer yeah I used FSU initially but then I went up to 33000ft to reduce it...
@WNP78 How do you disable drag? is it using the FSU command or is it with mods?
@Gestour those calculations were a theoretical maximum defined by the
maxAngularVelocityfield on wheels. The wheels, without modding, physically cannot spin faster than 375m/s. I'm not sure whether this is actually possible with stock parts at sea level, but I managed to work it at 33,000 feet.@WNP I think drag is an issue over a certain wheel size. Plus he said no mods, I assumed that included XML.
@WNP78 Hmm. You really should build a race car for a tournament then! Xd
I experimented with every value (a year ago) and 400 (roughly) was as fast as I could get it to go. I only lost the race (to the tourney winner) by a car length.
actually, simplifying the calculations, the max speed is precisely 375 m/s. Because 1 radian = circumference/radius.
I did just manage this without disabling drag, but I did need several miles of flat runway at 33000 feet, and a total of 2400HP...
I just tested and my calculations were perfect. After disabling drag (yes, I'm a cheater, but technically you could go really high up......) it accelerated quickly to 838 mph then stopped.
@Gestour theoretical maximum speed without XML:
max wheel radius: 1.25m
circumference: 7.85m
max angular velocity: 300 radians/sec = 17188.7 degrees/sec = 47.7463888889 revs/sec
1 rev = 7.85m
7.85 * 47.746 = 374.81 m/s = 838.4 mph
This is a theoretical maximum, with the largest wheels.
That's about as fast as is possible.
