     Is yours the stick shift? I've only opened mine up once (automatic)
     and it pegged at around 145. The V8 Stuckey was driving was
     the stick shift, unmodified. (so he says) Maybe that it was
     a Euro Model.  But knowing "officer friendly" the way some of
     us do...anything above 120MPH would translate into 165MPH on 
     the citation.....
