RE: top speed
About 140-145 actual mph (get a GPS), pedal to the metal for a minute or so...[/align][/align]It takes 175 HP or so (HP vs. speed calculator) to get a new-edge rolling that fast, and at 3900 rpm (with the stock 3,27 gears) that's about all there is from the engine...[/align][/align]Here's a speed vs. gears calculator...[/align]

RE: top speed
478 rwHP is nice--that'll push you right up to where you run out before the car runs out (of testicular fortitude).[/align][/align]I've owned two motorised thingy's in my life that had that capabilty--a '69 Charger Daytona 440/6-pack auto, and a Yamaha V-Max...[/align]
