I had a 4 yr. old BJ7 in college, while traveling to a resort town  with 
some friends, one of which drove a 65 300hp StingRay, we got on it on  the 
e-way and I stayed right on his tail up to 110.

I seem  to recall comparing GPS speed to rpm to speed shown on my,  somewhat
useless, speedo. We did over a 100. Going up in units of 5mph on  the GPS so
let's say 105. Car felt fine; has a 3:54 diff & a 28%OD plus  bigger
carbs/big exhaust, better cam etc. Haven't got chart to hand. Didn't  do it
for any longer than it took to enter the figures. Police hate 100+  here. 
Not
sure I blame them.

We all know that Donald Healey was a member of the 200 MPH  club.

I am wondering how many people have exceeded 100 MPH while  driving an
Austin-Healey.

Many years ago, while a junior or senior  in high school, me and two of my
friends hit 110 MPH on a deserted stretch  of freeway. It took a while to 
get
up to that speed and we were going up a  slight incline. 
The front end felt like it was riding on a  marshmellow.

Anyone have a story they are willing to  share?
