**OMG-The beast is INSANE Fast in 54 degree weather!**

Well everyone - finally got a cool morning to test the beast with the K2 and VRUS TB ... I ran the measured 1/4 mi (FHP) in front of my development and clicked off a 125mph
I was so amazed...I did it 2 more times!!...Same results!! 125mph

The temp was 54 degrees, and frankly-anything in the 50's turns the car in to truly a wild animal!!

I know, I know...it's not timed at the track... You're right!!
Be assured, I'll find time soon to hit Moroso, in cool weather and it will click off a 123-125 trap!! That I'm sure of now!!!

Anyone in for doing a Moroso track rental together soon??

Actually - YES it's for real! I consistently check my speedo to the radar clocks you see on the high-way and I'm consistently Dead-on with my speedo accuracy!

Probably a typo. My screen said the same thing, Feb 5.
