I've not seen rods cage, but i guess its not as complex as that because its still basically a road car, not a car built to get through the scrutineering at the salt flats

Rods cage is still pretty substantial from what i remember?

Its impressive they hit that speed til you think about it - Thats a major car manufacturer, companies on here with far smaller budgets can make 20 year old Fords go that fast lol

Here we go again Mr negative. Do you ever have anything positive to say about anything apart from your own car. Would it nice to just see a well done for once.

Indeed they did but the car was nothing like a production ZT-T, it actually sold quite cheap at their auction.. 20-25k as I recall.

I thought Rod was running over 2.0 capacity in his car bud?? I've not bought his book, so I can't be sure on that though.

i know i shouldnt feed the troll, but holy shit, if you knew even 1% about top speed runs on salt you would put your head in a blender.

for reference, removing weight can potentially make your top speed slower
