top speed

Postby V8TRANSIT » Sun Sep 07, 2008 10:56 am

top speed???
i was corious as to the fastest van out there and if it was a transit???
i think supervan1 did 150mph supervan2 did 170sumthing and supervan3 did 186???
if this is correct has it ever been beaten???
i also belive there is a jet powerd van out there that has reached nearly 200mph???
the fastest motorhome or camper has only reached 106mph? what? even my 30yr old 3.0v6 mk1 tramper will pull 120+ that cant be right?

if you can find one? try the diff out of a ford zepher it gives 22mph per 1000rpm so criises at 70mph sweet at just over 3k. very hard to find now but aslong as have you have the axle that loads from the front it will fit fine
