Stigg, I get about 20 MPH in 5 th gear 1800 RPM Regular fuel. I have a 289 with a mild rebuild. 30 over, Keith Black pistons, rods reworked both ends, balanced, New GT40 "P" heads taken apart and cleaned with the springs reworked, three angle cut on the valves, 289 torker intake manifold, 570 "Street Avenger" carb, mild torker cam, Hydrolic lifters, msd ignition, Taylor 10 mm spark plug wires, T5five speed trans., 327 rear end independant suspension front and back. I think I've remembered everything!
HP; I have no idea, but it's plenty fast enough for street driving. The car weighs around 2200 pounds. No power steering. 15 to 1 rack steering.
The car rides pretty stiff with 450 lb springs on the front, 600 lb springs on the back, PRO shocks on all four.
When you compare the handling to a Lotus Europa, Elise, Elan and a Chevron Formula B, it handles like a truck! Otherwise, it's a lot of fun to drive if you like a lot of noise, heat, acceleration, attention and answering a lot of questions about the car everywhere you go.
