Nope, stock -7 Merlin. Can't get that kind of speed in level flight, only going downhill. The guys racing at Reno get 450+ at times, but those motors are flying grenades and can't make that kind of power for more than a handful of laps.Originally Posted by MBailey
It must have an upgraded or different engine than the RR Merlin...?
.81 mach in Lear about 600mph .

Oh and before I forget my highest speed is around 145mph with myself driving in a Mazda GTX turbo.
170mph as a passenger in a Mitsi GTO twin turbo.
