Default RE: Schumacher Fusion and GTR


ORIGINAL: nitrohead5300

yes they are usually 2 speeds but I have seen videos of these cars with single speeds doing over 106 mph the bad news is finding the parts some times they are scarce.
I'm sure they can do that speed, I've seen electric cars with a single gear do that too but what are these cars like on low RPM/low speeds? With no gearbox or only two gears, how well can they accelerate all the way from 0 to over 100 mph?

I want a car that can turn (but doesn't have to be the best track day car), that can accelerate and that can do really fast top speed runs, are there any cars that can do this? I don't want a dragster car, and it seems to me that most on-road cars are of the allowed type for races i.e. not more than two gears and so on and so forth.
