Well like I said this was just some info --Motion didn't offer overdrive in '68 .--The way the engine was set-up ,it was making HP past 6500rpms---They were using 15" rims, but I don't know how tall the rear tires were(L-70 INDY)---Anyway this fella just wanted to go 160mph , not do laps around Walmart.-----------------

Some of the Motion cars went to Saudi Arabia. I bet they had some good high speed runs with cheep gas and plenty of open road. As long as they didn't run into one of those "fuelie head" horses.

I dont know about 200 mph but I do believe the ad of Joels 160 mph corvette. GMH454 that corvette did have a Hone overdrive, I have the article showing the installation, so I dont no about this being more of an example of Joels ability to promote his product rather than make fast cars. Also, my Motion vette pulls hard to 7500 rpm's, your example is to 6500 rpm. I think that besides the horsepower Motion cars have, the driver must have big balls too!

<font color="blue">I had the glass hood blow off my car on the Hutchison River Pkwy.
Never used a 4 hoodpin setup again, always 8 after that.

<font color="blue">I had mentioned 200 MPH in my friends PhaseIII 'Vette before.
I know it pinned the 160MPH while it was still pulling.
This was on the Jersey TPK @ like 2am coming back from racing.
Yes, we had Big Balls &amp; NO Brains @ 17 yrs old.
Luckily, still around to talk about it.
I also had a '68 Charger R/T 440 which was lowered with larger tires (in '77),
&amp; that car would pin the speedo while still pulling also.
Loved the Jersey Tpk. </font>
