"Hit 120 mph in 4th gear in no time at all and she had plenty left"

here is rough comparison just in case you forget Harb...

I hit 120 & taking up 2 lanes.... 4th gear nothing left... my azz is puckered, I can't even hear my wife yelling & screaming over the motor, but I feel the punches into my leg which is buried into the pedal. The steering wheel that separates me from life & death puts cramps in my white knuckles & the 327 in the firewall just inches before me is screaming for its life like a boxer in 12th & last 10 seconds, my brain is trying to scan how much room I will need to slow down w/ the drum brakes... my blood pressure is high, my stomach is in knots.... & I want to do it again anyways.

That is Scooter & wife in the 68 Chevelle @ 120MPH.... which is not as smooth as Harb & wife in the TA. I really don't see any downside here... makes me wanna try something newer/safer.
