That's also always been my thought as well. As far as the MPH claim, I kind of doubt it. Even with that gear, and a 26" tire, it would require you to spin about 7400 rpm to reach that speed. Quite a feat for a stock hydraulic cam.

Problem with that is not only the engine appearing to be stock in the photo's complete with exhaust manifolds, I doubt the engine would make enough HP to overcome the aerodynamic challenges involved to reach a speed like that.

Unless we aren't getting the whole story?

Neat car though.
