Seems like the tires and aero would be the limiters here.
Surprised there wasn't more undercarriage mod.

'Only' 284, but pretty impressive as it's not a 'barely' street legal car, but a production car with some gearing adjustment.

And the Jesko, as well as the Aston Martin Valkyrie, are on the way.

My 99 S-10 with a 2.2L with compound turbos and a swapped in 6-speed will do that all day everyday.

I didn't count but that's a ton of gears. Edit:I learned it didn't have a gear box. One speed.

That gt40 only has 6 iirc...

I'd rather be considered Capt. Slowe while driving this. It has 1950 less horsepower.

my 1972 VW Camper Van got up to 72 MPH in a tailwind down the 101 freeway last summer. It was exhilarating! I didn't;t need a parachute to slow down, though. I just had to hang a sleeping bag out the side window.

I got pulled over on K10 once in my Triumph Spitfire. The cop said that I was doing 85mph. I just laughed at him.

I call bullshit, It's the best place to speed in all the US without it becoming a crime of wreckless driving.
