Lol! A saleen body kit will not do jack. If your really wanting to see an improvement you need to research splitters and spoilers. Even then good luck with 200+ mph.

I know it doesn't mean I can reach it. I'm well aware. It just means I'm stable aerodynamically up until that speed.

Wait so you think that because the speedo goes to a certain # that it is "stable aerodynamically" to that speed
So does that mean in the early 80's when the speedo only went to 85mph that cars where not "stable aerodynamically" to go any faster than that?

You may want think about this, as even on several tests the GT500 actually didn't reach 200MPH.
Do more research!

Bramas, that's originally what I was taught. What does the speedo mean once it gets to its highest speed? I guess I was told the wrong information. Please educate me!

Ok. All joking aside. I saw the saleen body kit first a few years ago and fell in love with it. It wasn't until a few days ago that I stumbled across a pic of the saleen gauge cluster that I saw the 200mph thing. I was shocked and wanted to see if the body kit had anything to do with it. I don't claim to know much about aerodynamics so I wanted to know if it helped in any way.
Sadly, I never thought you were a troll, just dimmer than a 1952 VW Beetle's 6 volt dome light. It's kind of of scarey because you drive on public roads.

It means nothing, just the size of the gauge and enough little slashes they can put in and it still be readable.
