By the way... I was going down the Alex-Fraser(bridge)
On HWY91 south.
Its a 3-4KM stretch of Downhill Bliss, At the top i was going about 190kph.After the hill is another long stretch of flat ground as far as you can see.
Try that in your Shelby Z and im sure you will hit close to 160mph

I would have understood how before if you had mentioned the extremely long downhill road you were on at the time.[sm=smiley2.gif]I know that there is no way in hell it could do that on level ground, even with 200 horsepower, because a Ram actually does have better aerodynamics than the Shadow. I couldn't believe it when I read it, but it's true, just check it out on allpar.com.[sm=smiley5.gif]

Want a fast ride? Do the Petty Experience! Did it last summer at Kentucky speedway. Best 170mph ride for $99.

I kinda figured that after you mentioned it.[sm=smiley2.gif]Lack of this knowledge is why I threw up the BS flag. I can go 300mph in a dead stock Civic.............................if it's dropped out of a C-130.[sm=smiley36.gif][sm=smiley36.gif]

300 kph which is 187 mph on my 03 Busa SE.300 is where its restricted to.The 99 model was not restricted and were clocked at just over 200 mph on raydar.Check the Guiness book out they are in there.
