how much for one of these? I say with a better NoviRossi or RB Concepts Xenon, it would go 90 MPH.
guy the picco falls in line with those 2 motors.........if the picco wont break 90 MPH neither will the rossi or RB

im actually intersted in finding out its top speed
Bear in mind the drivetrain is no different!
In my mind it's not going to break 90 without some serious modding!
Even if you had a motor with enough power to overcome the drivetrain resistance the tranny casing will not be able to withstand the heat.
In essence the Fusion is an ideal speed car but the single belt (with the "s" bend) just creates too much friction.If only...er....somebody created a twin belt system them i'm sure it would make a huge difference.............
...............................I think that the drivetrain is one of the problems and I think more weak points will appear with the use of these high output motors. Blade on the Schumacher website has complained about the rear tranny case doing a meltdown behind his modified .21 motor so I expect we will see more of that and alot of bearing failure too. A twin belt system?? What would you reccomend transfering the belt system from a R-12 to the Fusion .28??
