Yeh true that, me and a friend came back in a recovery truck yrs ago at brunters trying to push an escort to its limit, and we was getting stressed over 2mph as we hit 148mph and couldn't get no more out of it and we taped up everything for aero and eventually it went pop, so yeh getting a few extra mph is a massive challenge
