I guess the factory would need to change the gearing to get to a position to challenge Montoya's record in the Bugatti as it's to 250 mph versus 240 mph +.

It would be interesting to see the comparison with the factory 1020 bhp supercharged Evolution coupe at the intermediate speeds.

ive not seen any Ultima over 210 mph anyway

mine was geared to 242 but recon with aerodynamics needed 4 miles to get there... ive seen 186 within a standing mile but that extra 60 mph is like hitting a brick wall. with rear wheel arches flat floor, enclosed engine cover it might be possible but that Bug is slick and an ultima has too much drag
