:) I modified the 80' B with my information. I got a 0-60 of 7.3 and a top
speed of 135.
When I said I worked out the gears to a top speed of 165, I never intended
for the car to ever get close to it. I estimate 120 as a top speed. I
don't think the ragtop can handle more than that.
It's all about balance and handling. We took my brothers Porsche 912E up to
115 on a dead highway. The scary thing is the car felt like it was going
70. We could have taken it to 130 with no problems. And that is just with
a 2.2L flat 4. Can you imagine what a 3.0 flat 6 can do!
Probably one of the most important things to do for high speed travel, is to
have your wheels high speed, on car balanced. Sears simply cannot do a good
enough job. (Plus I hate the sound of those damn impact wrenches. You can
never break the lugs loose after that)
