It is remarkable to still see cars with this low of mileage out there. Particularly when the owners drive at such excessive speeds. We expect pics of 85 at 85 by year's end!

Nice car BTW.

I guess I could have tagged 58 doin' 85 and claimed dyslexia...but nailing 60 doin' 06 would have been just plain boring.

Roger was, of course, referring to his sanctioned track speed. He was just too busy shipping me my parts to expound on his post. Got the switch Rog. Thanks to Sean for the diagnosis...

If you've got enough miles left, get out to 281, north or south of Marble Falls. Lots of long views on that road. MoPac between 183 and Cesar Chavez at 03:00 this Sunday? (Actually, make that ~ 05:00, not half an hour after the bars close.) How about that new toll road just north of town?

Good luck with it. I've been at almost that speed coming back into town from Fredericksburg. Or have I???

Or take it to the dyno and kill two birds. Or you could just jack up the rear wheels ... et voila!

At 140, you'll have less than 30 seconds to get the pic.

There are those on this forum who will know how many miles you'll need to reach that speed.

Isn't it nice to have a purpose in life?

BTW, love that color.
