Re: Triumph maximum velocities

[James Charles Ruwaldt <jruwaldt@indiana.edu>]

Not to put a damper on this discussion, but the only times I've tried to 
get my TR6 up to much speed, I've gotten to about 70 or 80 and smelled the 
oil burning.

'72 TR6 (being restored, but will be drivable when the transmission's 
back in)
P.S.: BTW, the Road & Track Sports & GT Guide, which published a road 
test of the TR6 when it was new, says it should go about 20 mph at 1,000 
rpm in fourth gear.  With the red line at six thousand and the orange 
line at 5,500, doing anything over 100 seems a little risky.
