How can this be? I could see these numbers from an ungoverned 300C, but the Imperial is less aerodynamic and much taller, longer and heavier (especially with the chassis support to have no B pillar). I could see the 6.1 in the Imperial generating those numbers.

Its too bad the tranny was blown for the test. I can't really see figuring out how good the engine and chassis is when you can't exceed 20 mph!
