There is a guy with one on Hartwell with one and I'm pretty sure it will do between 67-68 on the GPS.

I was on one a couple of years ago with 502's that ran around 65 MPH. I would hope close to 70 with 500's! But Jeff is probably right!

It's a big condo on the water, very nice but not the fastest.

What's on it for "wheels" ?
That's going to be the easiest
way to figure it out.

I know of one that had 525Sc's,
it ran a shade over 70 on a good day.

It was turning 24p bravo's
