Faster than the 1968 and 1969 1600's with the 120 speedo's, natch! What used
to bug me about my 1982 Maxima was the speedo topped out at 88mph. With a
fuel-injected 6cyl I often knew I was going way over 100mph, but had no idea
just how fast with the needle slamming into 88. Datsun was far more
optimistic with the sixties cars than the eighties cars (must have been some
federal regs).
