So would that be like 75-80 in real world mph, Or did you forget that you were playing PlayStation's NEED FOR SPEED, Cause The Ford Lighting can't even do that stock and it has a High preformance suspension and is super charged.

Anytime you feel the need to add "undrive pulleys" as a modification you're reaching - that adds about 6 hp. I can gain the same power to weight increase by dumping my empties or running on a half tank of gas instead of a full tank. As for the 175 to 180 mph statement, did this involve jumping off a cliff or incident involving a tornado? Either way an F100 attaining those kinds of speed does not do so with its tires on the ground.

Cut him some slack - if you accept that he is talking about kilometers instead of miles it is almost credible - top speed of 110, and 80MPH pulling a 8 ton trailer - if you had a long, long down hill.

I stand corrected. It can be done....

This photo was captured over Alaska, in winter.

Nice looking truck, Steve - but don't you have problems throwing your empties out the back window?

Looks to me like the empties would be instantly recycled.........

After looking at this thing for a few, I'm wondering where one could get a few surplus jado engines....?
