This Black Bomber leaves two 30 foot black marks from a dead stop and quickly runs up to 5,800 rpm and 55mph in first gear, then shifts into second and goes to 100mph, but I have never let it all hang out in third gear so I don't know what the top speed is ???

In the quarter mile it went 14.2 at 100mph.

I really love driving it on the hiway at 70mph then stepping on it to pass!
