any small truck past 120 over a mile is one you drive not just ride in. The pony cars I have driving you just ride
You have to think opposite of drag racing.51-53% of weight needs to be on front.At the1/2 to3/4 mile you are moving.The short wheel base works aginst you.But its darn fun :)

Past 140 it's the thrill cause you had better know how to drive and pay attention as thing can happen quick and get out of hand in a hurry( can you say front spoiler) :wink:

I got mine up almost to 37mph, then it started cutting out, so I backed it back down to 25 or so.......

I've wound my spacecab off the clock a couple of times - don't really know how fast exactly but guessing around 200KPH = 125MPH. Speedo reads to 180KPH & in 5th gear hit that at about 4000, but kept it going until it maxed out at 6000rpm. surprisingling it was well behaved & wasn't squiming at all. The green truck gets hairy around 16oKPH
