Hard to imagine doing 90 through Les Hunandierres while the big guys wailed
by at 180.

Guess I should point out that the Sebring Crosley was a highly modified
engine with special crank, cam etc.  I suspect is made a bit more than 90,
but I can't remember seeing any figures on this.  Anyone else have info on
this?
