DAMN YOU FORD!
Yeah.. with your gearing and about 500hp maybe 170mph...

not 240hp... 140mph max... I say.


Gotta remember after about 90mph aerodynamics become your biggest enemy along with weight... the Bird although 'sleek' to an extent... its just a brick through air compared to something a bit sportier...

And... lets see some proof of this 170mph GSX... also.. what do you run in the quarter. If its something stupidly low i'd like to know how you can manage Low Et AND high speeds...
