I had an MG Midget years ago, and got a ticket for doing 85 in a 55 zone.

I was hopping mad.

That car could barely reach 80 downhill with the wind at my back and Fred Flinstoning the ground with my feet.

Still got the ticket...

1976 Toyota corolla SR5 2 Door Hardtop with a 1.6L I4 carbureted delivered a published 75 hp. Tachometer red was 6700 rpm, and engine was only really happy above 3800 rpm. Drive the car and manage the engine (with 5 speed stick) as if it were a Inline 750-4 Honda, and all was well. Topped out somewhere above 110.

H.P. liked it---65 in a 35!
