Are you sure about that?

Several moons ago, I played around with the FF gears, .71 and 3.89, and
at 7200 RPM, barring wind resistance, I came up with 149 MPH.

I ran a 4 speed for a short while on my '88 16V Scirocco, and with .91
4th and 3.89, my car would top out at just under 120 MPH.

I think Rich was also exaggerating a little...

I'm thinking of using that 2H myself, but I have a 4K that you can use
instead, with a 1.8L 16V, I need all the help I can get to keep up with
you and Brett.
