I also call BS on mileage. Bet it runs a 4L85E trans.

The mileage is certainly possible with a cruise of 980rpm but if you're right and it's running a 4L85E. I wonder what R&P it's using. It'd have to be in the low 1.x range to get even close to 190mph with short tires.

How can you possibly do 60 mph in 3.7 sec with that kind of tq? It would have to do it on the rear wheels and have some pretty big slicks with a lot of traction.

In other articles and on the Trident website it lists a 6 speed auto for the trans. But the r&p still has to be ridiculously high geared.

Gotta figure in areodynamics/drag co-efficient and also the weight of the vehicle.
It looks like it would have a similar drag co-efficient to the Vette, something like .28-.36 and it probably weighs somewhere around 3200lbs...

I didn't see a curb weight listed anywhere?
