This is a video of me going from about 90 to 120 (governor), it seems to pull a bit slow. Anyway, I just wanna see how comparable it is to other people's cars in top end. This was at 2700ft so it should be slightly slower than some of you. This is in my 95.

90 to 120 is NOT the 240's strong point...

No where in the power band is there a strong point. Then engine is just weak.

i mean you guys it's not like we're driving Ferrari's these are sports coupes. Not even declared as sports cars. They're pretty strong for what youre working with IMO.

Wow atl you hit the nail right on the head. Glad someone is thinking like me...its not a *****in supercar, but its pretty damn good for being a "sport coupe".

So many people hating on the KA...it seems I will have to build mine up ...if anything just to prove them wrong.

EXACTLY..Glad you agree ZERO-S. As much as I love cars I'm not "that" accustomed to lots and lots of power...yet...so when you're riding in a car with as much potential as the 240 is stock I'm perfectly happy.

Yeah.. Like when I race somone at a light I usually win, but if we race from a roll-on I often get rocked. I guess with the SR the topend will be improved. Hopefully at least...
