So that's 325 km/h, that's impressive.

Specs????!!!! That's pretty quick. That is probably making 500hp or so. Curious to know more about this thing.

I found a little on this on the net, it makes about 600hp and stock size 2.0L.



"At the other extreme -- and most record attempts are relatively low-cost efforts -- is this impressive approach: Instead of a roadster, a rat rod or a streamliner, the Raver Motorsports entry (built by Greg Carlson) was a 1992 Mitsubishi Galant 4-door sedan driven by 71-year- old Ron Cochran. This full-size (think shoebox) stock-bodied sedan running in G/PS (G=2.0-liter engine, 120 cubic inches -- Production Supercharged) produced in excess of 600 horsepower at the wheels. It is All-Wheel Drive, and set a new record of 203.4 mph, making it, we believe, the first 4-door sedan over 200 and for sure the first 2.0-liter production class sedan over 200 mph. "

Didn't the previous Norris Evo (4-door) do over 200 mph?

They now own the G/PS record with a two pass average of 216 mph and they aren't done yet.
