An old high school buddy had a 318 (2BBL) 2.73:1 Satellite that also ran
140. Yeah, they could go that fast, but the suspensions weren't built for
that at all. He kept up with me until we hit some turns...after that...it
was all over for him. ;)

Sounds about right. I just wish my 69 RR had a speedo that read more than
120.. It took forever to get the needle to get back off the bottom of the
dash.. about 1/2 mile or so.. just to start moving again.. not just to get
back to 120MPH.. That was with 3.23's and about 120,000 miles on a 400BB.
