did you swap the speedo?
I can vouch for the Man.. the car's speedo goes up to 120mph and its a bone stock Dash. (as far as i can tell, he got the car from like a grandma i doubt the little old lady from pasadena swapped it... wait... i wonder if its the same little old lady from pasedena... hmmmm)
we've hit 120 in the Bird before, i think the speedo runs a little high to be honest it didnt seem like a 120, of course the engine being close to stock it was alot quieter than my Nova when it had 3.90 gears... would peak out at about 125mph (with old engine), but she was screamin!
As for swapping the gears to 3.73, i've said it to him before to do it cause he'll launch so much harder. But it wont help his freeway gas consuption. theres a plus and a negative to everything you do to a car.
And for the GT thing.. Im not sure either he took all the badges off the car... so i cant say. I dont remember seeing a GT badge. But then again its not my car
what i really think he should do with the Bird is give it a 12" suspension lift and put on 35" Super swampers... its not at all white trash... not at all...
