100 mph phut ! ! ! Driving in OZ Adelaide to Darwin in a Holden Rodeo
on the Stuart hwy (aka The Gun Barrel hwy with 280 km straight sections) no
speed restrictions at that time I was curious to see how fast a 3.2 lt V6
TRUCK could go , At 160kph (100mph) it was still pulling
.....................
I find that ridiculous in a work vehicle
The tuning & ingenuity back in the 60's to pull over 100mph yielded
serious adrenalin , any rice burner can do that now
To days kids do not know what they missed
