I don't know, Derek, the last time I saw you driving a car you had to start it with a hand crank!

But one day, when I'm going down-hill, with the wind, and the planets are aligned properly, I'll break 50mph with that car... Then who'll be laughing? Huh? Huh?

Hah... Don't you wish. We'll just have to keep on hunting for the roaches. Kinda crunchy, but you get used to them. Thanks Jody.

I would try and go 200 in the Mule with a grill plug, a better chin spoiler and a parachute for emergency stopping power. When the car went 200 on the dyno it was at 760hp to the wheels and 12psi. It did the run in .87 of a mile.
The boost on the engine dyno was about 16psi to produce 4 digit power.

Any newer Mustang dyno can simulate aero drag. The only problem is the programing does not go older than 1973. For the Mule's run we called it a 73 Nova as that is a comparable aero car, probably a little worse than a 69 Camaro. Just before the dyno screen switched to the overspeed warning, I saw 202 in the mph box. It was very loud in the cell and I am glad I was there.
