Thanks Guys.

SO are you saying at like 180 MPH an dgoing up its a huge factor of aerodynamics? I really dont understadn the frontal area thing coudl you explain that again?

I know mustangs are bricks but lets say compared to a vette that has 450 RWHP and goes 201 MPH.

If I was to use a mustang platform how much RWHP woudl i actually need? 600? I mean honestly i knwo there are cars superior in certain aspects to the msutang. But its not a mustang.

Does weight play much a factor into top speed?

Actaully i plan to slightly lower my gears jsut a tad to maybe 3.08's but allow hte engine to rev around 7,000 or shouls i stick with my 2.73's or around there?
