Very hard to say as too many factors to take into account! I would guess around the 125-130mph mark though

Ive seen cars run 160mph through the traps and still be in the 11s.

Ive also seen cars in the 10s that have a terminal speed no much over 100mph...

Its all about the launch...

Give us more of a clue and we'd be able to help more.

Id say 125-130 if it was can launch well (ie 60fts not much over 1.6), an more if not.
