Alvin,
Since I have not raced any cars since 1954, I can only go back to that time.
Then, the speeds were noted, but not the time.
At the Orange County Drag strip:
In 1953, my warmed-up MG-TD ran 72 mph, winning the under 1500 cc class
with a trophy and beating the '52 Porsche 356.
In 1954, my stock Jaguar XK120M ran 93 mph.
The Tiger is significantly faster than either of these.
