Ok,
For those of you that know me or my ex car from past rides to Hersey or wherever, know my 73s was good for more than 143. It was lightly built once we went to do a reseal and once in we changed it to 2.2 ltr high compression pistons with a few other bumps.
That said, at 140 there was still more to go... not sure how much more, but these cars were not aerodynamically capable of much higher speeds due to horsepower limitations as well as drag and other coeficients. As much as I would have liked to have revved past the 7300 rpm redline, I was told that 7500 was safe, due to changes in the valve train, and I never went above 7300. It was very quick, but not turbo quick and the handling was fantastic due to updates in the suspension.
That said, this guy is full of it. Without major mods, and even that is saying a lot, this car is not capable of what he is saying. The fact that this POS can reach the kind of money is has is making me depressed beyond words that I sold my car (the reason was a good one).
Run Forrest run!
