<VV> Safe at 176 mph./And 100 and 96 MPH

[hallgrenn at aol.com]

James,

I used to tell people that I routinely drove my 1965 Monza (it would do 100 mph) and 1968 Monza (smog engine would do 96-or was it 98- mph) on the Autobahn at a steady 75 to 80 and once drove the '68 400 miles at a steady 90 mph (with stops for gas), but they looked at me like I was crazy.  The Bonneville salt flats are a good alternative example.  Thanks.

Bob

All:  When people tell me that, being who I am, I tell them I know a couple 
dozen people who race Corvairs and they top out at about 140 with perfect 
safety.  And that I know a man who drove one to 176 mph on the salt flats with 
perfect safety.  

They kinda go "Really?!", which leads to a generally intelligent discussion of 
history. 

Historically Yours,
						James

In the last few years whenever someone warns me about my "unsafe" Corvairs I 
have responded that they were only proven to be unsafe in the Bermuda Triangle.  
And they just walk away..................
