The big numbers are MPH, if you look closely, you can see kph in the center

My wife and I were wondering that to, so we watched it a few times before confirming that it is indeed MPH. We have ridden some Canadian bikes before and 100 KPH is very different than 100MPH

Beastie, I'll send 2 or 3 when I figure it out...probably tomarrow.

It can actually spin the tire from a stop for about 10 feet LOL, then it is just pretty slow. It has alot of miles. I bet the SHO would be pretty quick!

Actually, all kidding aside, those SHO's are pretty fast.Use to have a V6 SHO, and man, could it rev!! Being front wheel drive it was kind of shady though. If you stomped on it, it would trun itself! Just out of curiosity awhile back I test drove one of the newer one with a V8, and while it was quick, it was no where nar as quick as the V6.

On a side not, I'm surprised the older model Thunderbirds never recieved much attention. I drove a '95 with a V8 and that thing hauled!!
