    I did'nt vote, cuz did'nt really see anything that applies to me. I will say, it's fast enough to keep a smile on my face and keep up w/ most on the Interstates. That's all Im looking for.

    Let me tell you how fast this thing is..........


    The torque off the line makes a tidal wave look like a splash in the bath tub.
    The 60 foot times make lightning wonder what just blew past it.
    the 1/8 mile times are faster than the speed of sound.
    And sorry no 1/4 times yet cause its always to far in flight already to trip the beams.

    It's so light anything over 90 or so scares the poo out of me, but does 136 on the chassis dyno count?
