Mini cooper. No bloody John, No bloody 's'. Teach 'em to make what speed they can and _keep_ it.

Which is wierd...my L98, when stock, got 30 mpg on the highway.

168 in a C5 Corvette, A4, base rearend. In Nevada, en route to Tahoe. As mentioned earlier, the windows pull away from the frames at that speed so it was noisy, but not particularly scary. It was drag limited at that point. Roads out there are arrow straight and loooooong.

oof, Geremy was driving the Nissan GTR BTW.
