Default top speed

If the top speed according to the FAQ section is 166mph, is it possible to reach 200 with minor mods?

Gearing won't allow it, however if it did, since our aerodynamcity sucks, you would need a good 600 HP at least do so.

you must be downloading the 27 meg review - its WELL WORTH IT! and I just love Tiff's last line in that review.

There is another one there, that just has a guy going around a track, topping out the F1.
