Ranger top speed run

Not really. Though I found out that driving with both windows down and the rear sliding windows open causes a significant amount of drag.
I also found out that the speedo is fairly accurate to around 70mph then it gets a little optimistic. Indicated 85mph is actually 82 or 83. Also, it'll do about 86 on flat road (maybe a tad more), will do a WOT 3-4, and I topped out at 88mph on the way back from Old Lyme returning the pressure washer. I was following some old guy in an ATS 2.0 and a Porsche Panamera GTS.
