Edit I've just checked gundam runs e85 1048 hp 975 lbft! That explains it then! Lol insane torque

Torque has little to do with Top speed if you have 700bhp with 1000ft-lb it will still hit the wall at the same speed as any another 700bhp car with half the Torque & the same aero. It will get to the wall quicker I agree.
If a GTR reached 237mph with 1048bhp then the maths say you would need 630bhp to reach 200mph in the same distance. It means you are looking at 217mph with 800bhp. We must put this to the Test at Brunters Im sure a mag shoot could be arranged or maybe a Vmax it would be a great day.
My old girl would require 900bhp to get to 214mph but im prepared to give it a bash.
That would be a great 70th birthday bash.
