These are VERY cool cars. If I had some change to spend on a good all around (fun and practicality) daily driver I'd be looking hard at one. I'll be watching this eagerly.


If you want some perhaps more accurate estimates of top speed, try Drag Race Analyzer. You can buy it online or download a free trial that gives you a week or two, just google it. The default simulation is of a 1/4 mile but there's a 1 mile, 1.33 mile, and 5-6 mile (bonneville?) setting too. You can input pretty complex stuff, like clutch specs, front and rear wheel weight and width, car height and width for aero purposes, etc.


I personally found that over a 2 mile flatout run, my mildly modified 85 Crown Victoria hit within 1mph of the speed the simulator suggested.
