Not sure if I can get it that high. If I can get a 26T pinion made and use Mike's two speed pinion adaptor thingy, I should theoretically be able to hit 126mph in 2nd (1st up to ~95mph). But, I'm sure there will be tons of air resistance and friction at that speed (if the mechanicals hold up). I might use 10s instead for some really high power output because I think I'll need it! And I'm gonna need some serious front downforce. I don't want to think about what would happen if it took off at that speed!

I noticed that the brake on the GTP doesn't have return springs, so I just added those. I also lengthened the brake actuator arm for more servo range of motion and added a spring to the linkage so I have a little more braking control.
