If the 170 mph top speed is correct,
and I hope against hope that it is correct, then the enthusiasts have the final and ultimate proof that this is a no compromise track car.
Trackrats understand with crystal clarity. Top speed numbers are utterly meaningless except to magazine induced mental masturbators. Just like 1/4 mile and 0-60 times. Useless information for use on track.
Give me a close ratio gearbox that allows the engine to pull like a locomotive in every single gear, and that allows me to be in the right gear for every corner, that is what I want. Not a top-speed numerical compromise meant to appeal to the unthinking sheep.
170 mph top speed: Please,
please let it be true...
