Gearing makes it capable of 115-125.

 

I'm going to plead the fifth on that. Lets just say that at that 70mph is the beginning of the power band and by 80mph you're really into it. It'll wind out all the way to 120 Something. torque pulls like a train. Gearing makes it capable of 115-125 depending on the wind

Due to all new suspension and adjustable control arms etc it rides like a race car, the aftermarket seats make up for the roads.

 

Really cool build. How much does it weigh? HP? How tall of a guy could fit in it being reasonably comfortable. The new minis have huge head room, what about yours?

 

Thanks. We guess around 1350 or so. Most stripped out race minis get down to 950+. I'm 6'5" 230 and fit fine. Minis have a LOT of room compared to modern compacts like the new mini. The seat brackets are custom fabricated to sit low and slide all the way back to the back seat if needed. When driving my arm sits comfortably on the door and my shoulder just at the b pillar when sitting all the way reclined.

 

Still alive and kickin? When is the conti going up for sale?

 

Day to day hour by hour. I just stay in when I have to... The continental will never be for sale. It just got a new accuair e-level ride height system in fact.

Getting a new interior/top as well soon
