What 30+secs at WOT i very much doubt it would hold together for anything like that time. With the 'push' system activated that would be 1250bhp . Anyway we have not seen 1000bhp yet that may only be 900 we dont know untill its tried.

As for a theoritical speed we need to lengthen the gearing thats for sure so more Power to pull it so I guess a very romantic 235mph if the fairies visited earth for a day. Striving to get 940bhp to run the length of Brunters is more than a challenge im sure .
