I've got dozens of case files for higher performance cars,some of which can easily exceed 200-mph.Over the coming months we'll be able to reverse-engineer data from their published performance which will help us think about the 'Stealth F-150.'
Here's a higher speed table from HOT ROD Magazine illustrating performance for a car of 25-sq-ft frontal area,at differing Cds.
It gives you an idea of what the F-150 is going to be capable of as its Cd continues to fall.
