[V8] 5-speed article

[dsaad@icehouse.net]

I wonder about that top speed -
I had a picture from someone on this list who was at 152MPH when he snapped the
pic.

I have had mine at 143MPH on mid-grade gas at 7000 feet elevation, and two
people + junk inside.
It was still (slowly) climbing but I ran out of road. There was no hint of a
limiter.
At sea level and with good gas it would have to go faster.
