When my '97 was new I had it up to 137 mph as indicated on the speedo. So it was probably only doing about 130. It had plenty more oomph left so it probably would have topped 140.



Larry! You still exist!

Problem is, as I've mentioned, most (or all) info I've gleaned from publications lists an "ESTIMATED" top speed. I want a Bonneville Salt Flats run!
