My wife might tell you the Phoenix was fast.
Around '85, she got her one and only speeding ticket while driving it. She was heading to work and was trying to beat a red light.
IIRC correctly, she was nabbed for doing 45 in a 35.
When she got home that night, she told me the story. She was sure she couldn't have been going as fast as the cop claimed because she was in 2nd gear. She wanted to know if I thought it would go 45 in 2nd gear. I assured her that I was certain it could which probably wasn't the first time I didn't agree with her and I'm certain wasn't the last.
