With all due respect, I meant was what did it have to do with the topic to call him out like that.
Although I'd love to see the base car run that number, I can't help but wonder how. What I mean is, most LT1 cars, with 275-285 horsepower (typically between 230-250 RWHP) would top out around the mid 150s. If my memory is correct, those had better aero' numbers than the current car. Of course, the new car has more power, and at least in terms of 1320 times, one MPH usually represents about ten RWHP, so if the 3.6L makes about 30 more, perhaps that's enough to overcome additional drag.
What I do know is, is that the 5th. Gen. will look better doing it (I'm not suggesting the 4th. Gen. is ugly, just that IMO, the 5th. Gen. is plain beautiful.)
