Just bought an M40 140-160

I have had 2 M40 240s. A 75 with a B20, and an 80 with a B21.

Both made during the 55MPH Nationwide speed limit laws.
The 75 could do 75-80 but was a real real Loud. I felt like it could do 90 IF it had that OD. took it from MD to Colorado fully loaded 3 people camping gear 4 kayaks racked. No Problems at 65 to avoid speeding too much over 55.

The 80, I no longer take on the highways at 65 is the posted speed Limit-- 70 in WVa, and it's way too loud...it will sustain 80+ no problem. As noted around town under 60mph just fine.
I have another Volvo with an M47 highway driving.
