And I'm not especialy impressed.

It was probibly more like 95mph, RPM's a bit over 4K and I know the speedometer reads 5mph fast at 70mph, but still.

Pulled fine, did not take too long to get there, was still accelerating a bit, drove it with one hand.

But I'd not want to have to turn while doing so, and it was just not nearly as confidence inspiring as I would have thought the way people always talk about these cars.

Granted, my alignment(or something) is not quite right(see the 1000 miles thread a week or so ago), but still. The car feels light, which it is. And it feels like it has small tires, which it does.

There was a time when I hit 100mph+ on a daily basis, and it was a casual thing, you could set the cruise control, light a smoke, whatever. You always pay attention at that speed, but you get my meaning. I've not found a car to equal the high speed cruising comfort and feel of a 78 Lincoln with a 460ci and a 2:50 rear gear yet. Not to mention it's 6000 some odd LBS..

Not a complaint at all, or a comparison, just an observation, especialy being that I have to retire my old Lincoln permanantly to the salvage yard this week due to lack of a place to put the poor thing. The best car I ever owned..


Are the SD's notably different on the road at speed?
