hahahahahaha

I'm flipping through channels and I get to Speed. They have a Mustang drifting, but not the green/blue one everyone thinks of. Then it goes to some guy with a 93 something something Mazda that started with 135 hp and he was bragging how he got it up to about 160! The best part was he said the only modification to the car other than appearance and saftey was a different air intake. 25 hp from just an intake? Don't think so!

Now they are talking about the So-Cal Speed Shop 240 mph Cobalt! OMG kill me now!

Now they are talking about the So-Cal Speed Shop 240 mph Cobalt! OMG kill me now!

I read an article about that Cobalt...They redid the transmission so that it was all geared for top end power. It lugs in the first few gears (I want to say top speed in 1st gear is like 65-70mph, with the other gears being progressively higher, with a wider powerband).

Most of the speed record cars have been re-geared for that highest top speed record pass, and aren't factory gearboxes, so it's highly possible for it to get up to 240 mph.
