Not mine, I don't have doors ;)

I just looked around for some info and it looks like the thing is a hair
underpowered (300 HP? My Z28 has more than that by a good margin) and geared
to be fast, not quick. As my bike sits, set up for Texas World Speedway's
1.9 mile course, she should do 10.5 1/4 miles. Set up for the strip more
like 10.2s. On a road track the Manta would have to be able to put at least
a second on me down the front straight because I'm going to eat it for lunch
through the turns out back, especially the horseshoe. On the street it's
meat. I can get to 60 in about 2.7 seconds. It'll be loud and on one wheel,
attracting every cop in the time zone, but I can do it ;) Street races are
over by 100 MPH unless one or more of the participants have less brain cells
that CCs, so I doubt it could take me there, either.

I don't, however, want to race it from El Paso to Lubbock or some other such
long, flat, boring chunk of high speed nothingness.

The only difference in 40 and 140 is the sirens and flashing lights
behind you.
