James,
In theory, that would be true. However, top speed depends a whole lot
on whether your engine will drive through the wind well enough to
achieve that speed. I did a similar calculation with my Honda S2000
powered Spit and theoretically, I could go 212 mph! Passengers,
wanted!!! :)
Cheers,
Joe
