[Healeys] What a great day.

[Tom Felts]

   OK----at the risk of POing someone, let me just say--I'm a skeptic here.  I live 
in Western Pa with many hills.  I also have an E-Type.  Although my Healey pulls 
these hills nicely, it is not as aggressive on them as the E-Type (not close), 
and neither of them will take on a 5L V8. 
 
My guess is that the guy in the 5.7L V8 was not trying.  
 
OK---flame suit on.

Ok Rich. 
You got me. One of those numbers is clearly wrong..... 
;-) 
But I know it was 5,800 rpm in direct top after I passed the clown in  
the 5.7 v8, when flicked back into overdrive....
