Well, not sure about 160mph, but come of those rice rockets have pretty good
top speeds, expecilly with a 150 shot of nitrous. You have a truck,
remember, so drag will have much to do with it, and even reaching your top
speed might be tough on 3 miles. Your friend in the Camaro might have a
better chance. Anyhow, sounds like friggin fun tho! DO it just for the fun
if notihng else! Also, how are they determining the top speeds?? Radar??
Wher eis this at??
