Are we thinking *maybe* a 200mph Crossie? The SRT front bumper might prove beneficial at those speeds... if nothing else, a lower chin profile.

If you wanted to do a non-kompressor V8, you'd be looking at a substantially lower price as the engines can be had very cheap and it's just electronics after that.

Also, I'm bringing a few stoggs to the dragon so we'll have to fire up a good smoke and chew the fat out on the patio.
Take care,

It's definitely fast, but I think some of the estimates are a bit overboard. Unless he's modding it beyond the stock E55 engine, I'm guessing the best time for it (obviously driver dependent) would be around 11.2 @ 122.

The main thing is to make sure everything was in check before going nuts and introducing a whole set of other variables. It'll get the usual array of bolt-ons plus we, Marcin and Rob have a few other tricks up our sleeves!
