Whats the top end on the SSIE?

aabout 38c oopps tbh i have never gone over 135 on the clock,there is more,but you need alot of road to do it,normally not to clever in my congested neck of the woods,you would need to redline in fifth gear to get a good run,sixth can sometimes feel like an overdrive below 90ish.

Nice colour and i like the red wheels they do set it off nicely.
So there isnt mush difference between the SS and the SSIE then as mine runs at 135+ for an old carbed model.
they do have a great mid range with planty of torque thats almost unique.

quite honestly having made it to 44yrs old,i no longer want to see 160mph,as you rightly point out,the torque,the sound,the front end cemented to the road feeling ,and the looks,i can just look at it and admire,these are some of the things that now give me a buzz,oh and i nearly forgot,the smell too
