A friend of mine had a very early version in, I think, it was called an RX-5, from the 1970’s or so. He commuted to college from the Chicago suburbs to downstate Illinois, and rode I-55 for a good part of the distance. He got in a race, one night, with some clown in a Corvette, and he pushed that Mazda to well over 120 mph, running AWAY from the Corvette.

It was a shaky, rusty old piece of machinery then, and he realized (later) is was just a show of testosterone, but it was one of those things you tell of later. Those damned things could wind well out over 10,000 rpm.
