Correct!

However, top speed is actually 190 mph, according to the Texas Mile equipment anyway..... I hit the rev limiter in 6th gear a good distance before the half mile. I'm sure I could have hit 200 mph by the half mile if I had had more gears to go through......

Anyway, that's why I didn't bother to run the full mile.....couldn't go any faster....

Underground Racing didn't upgrade my gears. I still have the stock gearing. I may upgrade the gears later next year. My car wasn't teched to go faster than 190 mph in the mile anyway....I don't have a roll cage, 5 point harness, or a parachute installed.

Kevin said that if I had the gear upgrade, my car probably would have done 240 MPH in the mile.

ahhh ok...I knew your car was good for the 240 mark!! But it makes sense with the lack of the safety equipment and chute...that's good that you kept it to the 1/2 mile safety first in my book! Once you get some taller gears and safety equipment you will be right there with the rest of the UGR clan...well done and very nice car
