Angry ginger Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 And how often was that extra 10 miles per hour needed. Reality is the design lent it self to higher speeds with the track angle but I'll take the suspension and seating position all day long and suffer with a sled that only does high 90s low 100s on the GPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My little 140 hp SRX radared at 120 mph box stock. And the stock T cats, ZRTs, Mach Z's were north of that. You need north of 200 hp to get up there now with all the track travel, angles, etc.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winterman Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 CFRs were outdated before they hit the showrooms. They were an attempt to restore a “performance “ image that the F pig Barney flushed down the toilet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
