Randolph,I though it had room to go at 145 but I didnt want to push it. Do you think it is really that fast or are the speedometers off.
Can you pull any wheel on pedal to metal takeoff? |

I haven't timed it but I would bet it's well over 6 seconds. I like them and they are not a dragester but they are exceptionally slow from the start. But what a luxury cruiser. |

Ya it flies after you roll out to about 30-35mph. It has balls all way up to 145. Would love someone to time theirs 0-60 at standing start. |

Bruno, I don't own one but have driven one a number of times. They ain't lighting fast from a start but do well as you approach 60 to 70 mph. |

I've got a 400 carburettor car here in London. What did you need to know?
Have a look at www.400register.com which might have the answers you need.
