That must be a seriously tricked out 172!
Assuming the 172-H was modified, a Skyhawk JT-A could push FL200 on a good day.
Maybe it has a fantastic tailwind and an hurricane level updraft? Hope they brought along pressurized oxygen masks.
It's got the hot-cam setup, and a less-restrictive air filter. Amazing what a little resourceful tuning can do.
Everyone knows that it's red that makes you go faster.
C'mon, dude. Now you sound like all the haters who say the spoiler on my Saturn doesn't make it go faster.
Plus, we're talking about a super unrestricted air filter, the kind you can only find listed in the back of magazines.
Oh, and chrome is good for at least a few extra mph. It's very sleek, and is considered by air particles to be "hella laminar." But enough science for today!
Dont forget the stickers, adding a K&N sticker adds horsepower
