"and now that it cruises effortlessly at obscenely high speeds, it is more fun to drive than ever. Getting over 20mpg at 75-80 mph, I've taken to driving it on long road trips, sometimes 1000 miles in a long weekend out of town. Engine noise is way down, temperatures are way down, and fuel economy and road speed are way up. I can cruise in style and keep up with traffic now. [/QUOTE]

Today I got on a hwy-on-ramp and I was doing 90 (3000+ rpm's) before I knew it, and, with a completely new suspension it felt pretty good for 1969 technology. I wonder how fast it would go? theoretically any guesses?.

400hp + M20 + 2:56's + ? = *** mph
