Maybe its the last couple of days of 90+ summer heat, maybe the strain of the
recent push to get Killer out and about, whatever it was is not important.
What counts is the idea.  Suppose one took a moderately aerodynamic body,
say a squaretail GT6, put in a few goodies, like a 3.27 diff, an overdrive
and a real strong motor that could pull to, say, 8 grand.  Given a vast
whiteness of ancient salt beds, how fast could such a car go?

The gear.sc spreadsheet claims 126 mph for 6 grand with a 3.27 diff, 185/70
tires and standard gearbox, no o/d....
