Whatever the speed is on a 120mph Speedo when the needle is pinned to the backside of the little post it rests on at 0mph.. Had 1000 RPM to go with my 2.6L Big Four (which is now being rebuilt by Rich Towle, the brave soul), but quite honestly, physics started to get the best of me and I backed off.
About 50 miles later, both of my rear wheel bearings were squealing like a catholic school girl at a Marilyn Manson concert (appologies in advance if any of you guys are catholic school girls in your spare time). Top speed though? 190+mph in a Ferrari 360 Stradale at the Ford Desert Proving Grounds in Kingman, AZ (as passenger) Fastest I've driven? 185 or so in a Shelby Series 1 Prototype (ok, i'm done gloating) -greg- |
