*****? I take my 66 up to 100 everyday on a small, windy country road. Not many people have ***** like that. Trust me, everyone backs off when we race it.

You guys are right......I'm an unsuspecting victim of modern creature comforts. I'm so ashamed.......
I brought my car to a local gearhead this morning so he could take it for a spin to get his opinion.I was sitting in the passenger seat and I couldn't believe the difference. When we hit 65 it was cranking, but he said it's not redlined at all and 80-90 wouldn't be any problem. The cheapo fan I had was probably my biggest problem.
Thanks for setting me straight, although I didn't appreciate the Honda references...

Because if anyone drives a classic 100 MPH on a deserted road, they are either completely nuts, or have gorilla *****.

how about 110 w/a 200ci I6, C4, stock gears, on a normal 2 x 2 highway and to top it all off, flies by an undercover waiting off the side of the road? [8D]

and what about when he takes the off ramp to aviod the ticket at 50/55?





NO, i DO NOT condone my actions that day. i just got the thing and had some guy pull up and wanna race. had to see what that thing could do. not bad for a straight line, but turning at 50, not good with stock suspension! felt the car lean R E A L hard!
