To imply something is one thing, but to come right out and say eyeless is a bit cruel.

I don't about you guys, but my 5th doesn't happen much over 110. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
So what have the rest of you topped out at?

Typical stock 2.0's will only do 110-115 MPH. The last 10-15mph is the toughest.

My bone stock 1974 1.8 would do 170
(OK so that is km/h)

108 after a few miles.
102 with the top off.

Would raking the windshield of the #406 red racer help his top speed?

I saw around 130mph indicated in my 73 2.0 ravenna car; but that was on a looooong downhill grade in the desert. We were clearly flying but I dunno what the actual speed was. On the track I know that car would struggle to hit a realistic 115 on a good day; usually more like 110
