Speednation’s SSC neon with the base model SOHC engine goes 125 through the traps at pocono around the road course. I’ll agree that the car is more or less limited to 120, as that is where 4th gear runs out. What’s the big deal anyhow, i’m sure if i had as much as a T/A costs, i’d have a faster car that would do 160 or whatever. ---
