98km/h is just short of 61mph. check

This was clocked by a police radar gun at the 2007 sedan nationals track near Houston (on a previous race obviously) there is a small slight S before the 175', I believe the full length of the track is somewhere in the 230 range so you almost start the 175' in 2nd gear.
I believe the absolute fastest sedan was somewhere around the 58-60 range as well but I can't remember for sure because we were so shocked by the 8th scale speeds. Enough police stop by oddly enough even though they claim they are too busy to respond to hit and run accidents (long story, multiple times though) so I'll try and get one to bust out the radar gun again on my new engines coming from IDM for my sedan and my 8th scale. Hopefully the new team mod job is even more rediculous than it was with my last batch, looking forward to seeing them in the next couple of weeks.
