Even claims of 155 mph for a stock NA Crossfire are ambitious since in theory you need a little over 200rwhp to get the Crossfire to that speed. Photos of speedometers at 155 are impressive but they don't verify that the vehicle is traveling on level ground or wind speed/direction.
Theory is one thing. Reality another. I guess I need to find 3 miles of Bear free, Deer free, deserted, straight, highway.
And satelite positioning unit to validate my speed
And witnesses who can withstand waterboarding interrogations
And one of them needs to be someone onehundred80 will believe.
Otherwise, we will never really know how fast one of these NA's will go.
