Epic car, mental performance, just goes to show that if you want to build a fast car the best thing to start with is something designed from the outset is a fast car.
Also it proves just how much more power you need at the top end to gain a relatively small amount of speed.
Rod's Sierra circa 800 bhp - top speed 218? IIRC
This GT circa 2000bhp - top speed 257
