I cruise my 1600 at 110/120 kph all day long, I have buried the needle
just the one time (170 kph+) but that was before I had to rebuild the
engine (wonder why?) It felt pretty steady, all things considered (old
brakes, worn steering, etc.). I'd had my father-in-laws Merkur
Scorpio-another fine German car- up to 140+ mph (Hey kid, you want to
take my new car out for a spin? Sure, *Dad*!), the Notch didn't compare
at all to that. But that was years ago, and I guess I'm really not that
much in a hurry any more.
