Yepper-it was good training without the training wheels.Gas was high test for 29.9.Car got 8 miles to the gallon soft peddling it and 6 to 4 mpg getting on it.You could actually watch the gas gauge going down.We where told by NYS police it was clocked at 137 mph but they couldn't prove it because we lost them.If it was the time I think it was,it still had 500rpm left before 7,000.Surly would bury the speedo that went to 120.
