Someone tell me what needs to be done to turn 8 grand on 2.0L GT6+
engine and I'll beat that 125MPH speed from a Midget. H*ll, with a
4.11:1 rear gear, I'd probably beat that Midget to that speed also! But
then again that Midget was race prepared. How many race prepped TRs out
there can turn that speed?
