The reading was probably in KPH - mystery solved!!

But seriously, the local police kindly checked the speed of my ported NS S - 25 powered Savage the other day. Imagine my delight when he told me that the gun had registered 61mph........

When I get the STS, I reckon it will be more like 70mph, perhaps even 80 mph if the wind is blowing right.......

Joking aside, I reckon (with very few exceptions) the only time anyone's MT breaks the 50mph barrier is when it's in the boot (trunk) of the fullsize car traveling to the track!! In which case, mine has probably broken the 100mph barrier on occasion!

Let's not forget this is Dino's thread for the STS .28, it's a cracking little engine no matter what MT you bolt it into. Save the bragging rights for victories on the track.
