124mph in an 87 Audi 5000s, non-turbo. With only 130hp I guess it ran out
of beans despite the blobby shape. Quiet and steady though.

I'm gonna see what my old Camry can do this summer when I roadtrip to
Toronto. It has such tall gearing that sometimes I'll be doing 85 and the
tach shows about 2300rpm...
