Look for a turbo car.Your engine would last with a hacked job turbo.You have no oil squirters.

So not fair. How does that work out??? Guess I'm being told to slow down and get mellow. Ugh. I'll go crazy. I think I need to look for a turbo.

How do you 2 know how fast you've gone since the speedometer stops at 85? At least mine does.

I like the way you qualify it...with your wife in the car! Sooo you don't
deny doing 90mph then?

I don't think I ever took my T-bird that fast. But on a dry road very few
could beat me off the line! If I was in the mood. I had the sport suspension
package. LOVED that car! My '97 was waaay better than my '95 on so many
levels.
