Man, I can't believe that someone did't chime in and say something like "110 mph, 75 was plenty fast for me". O'well it is a good read.

I guess the cars could do that speed but not sure for how long with that long stroke engine. Maybe a tail wind helped or it had a really low rear axle ratio. At least he didn't claim the car had lightning fast acceleration as someone did on a car with Ultramatic.
