SWEET! 75 is fast.....but 75+ you can really feel like your speeding! Some chop...& you may be at that next highly desireable level.
Until then......

Nicely done fellows!!!
My GPS does not have a tattle tail so you will just have to take my word...
I took a blast yesterday before fueling up and picking up the wife and kid.
Less than a 1/4 tank just me racing my body in his Velocity.
77.1 at just shy of 5000rpm...
The conditions were just about perfect; that's all she's got...
Needless to say Cornel's V had no chance...
I hope to run my old school straight V with one of those step bottoms soon... Does look like they are 1-2mph faster...
