Default How fast does your 4 banger go?

Non turbo that is....

I had my 88' up to 85 and past today. Hours before I blew the tranny all over the road by my house.

Here's a pic.

Nothing modded engine wise, except the silencer box emptied out. 126kmiles.

I've had mine up to the odometer trip button. I don't know how fast that was, but I've had it up to 101 according to gps unit and that was about 1/2 way between 85 and to odometer trip button.
