Re: How fast would this car be... 140-160

I've got a 68 144 (smaller motor) with a slightly tired motor. This

car is not fast.

I've got a 70 164 with a not very tired motor. This car is much faster

than anything I've ever owned. It can and has made owners of 3 year old

hondas hang their heads in shame. Not there was ever an unlawful display

of speed or local speeds limit violated.

A b20 fuel injected street performance cam equiped 144 will be tolerably

fast, but will *not* beat a modern car in speed. It will last longer,

look better, and be cheaper to fix, but will not beat a modern car in a

race.

Instead of trying to beat them in a race, make fun of them for driving

a car their mum bought them. Or better yet, don't worry about what

other people think of you.
