I got a good laugh out of this.

I believe the top at redline is 156mph was the last number i heard. However, if you figure the final drive ratio is 3.54 on a stock trans, so you have 1836.15 rpm for the rear axel. then there's some more calcuations, and i'm already bored of the topic, but i figured this much, i'm sure someone can figure the OD of hte factory tire and give you a good number.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!
