Re: Are you disrespected?

I've had a couple 240 with NA engines. Yes, they can be slow dogs off the line. But once up to speed, they cruise very nicely. Currently I have a couple 745Ts which will get you to speed a lot faster. More than once I have seen the surprized look on peoples faces when I pull away faster than they thought a brick should. Once feature I have found on my bricks is the need to watch the speedo on the interstate. These cars just like to run. If you are not careful, you may find yourself doing 80 mph and not be aware of it. My wife had this happen to her yesterday when she was on the road to meet with a client 70 miles from here. Fortunately there were no speeds traps. I here the 1800 series also liked to run. Hopefully I will find this out one of these days. Just need to find the time to start the restoration.
