Okay, 160 still looks impressive. I like that it red-lines at 100.
I wonder if any of these things could make it to 100 MPH in factory form.

Think so. My van i often do 70-80mph on highway when i pass cars etc.
pull 6600-7500lbs trailer in 50-55mph (speed limit ) is no problem. Its been a good G20 van so far !

I think aerodynamics will bite you right about the time you're getting near triple digits. But maybe not. Sounds like a good subject for another thread.

Yes, that name goes way back. My neighbor loved her too because his last name was Gustafson. My neighbor's dad and I, even though his dad was about 40 years older than me became the bestest of buddies and he was one of my auto mechanic mentors. I think his sons were jealous because I did alot more with their dad than they did as adults. They had the option to come with is and join and did sometimes but rare. I buy the beer and he'd teach me whatever I wanted to know and be a stand by an guide me at everything I did. He's the guy that gave me the confidence to build my first transmission. Him and I stayed drunk most of the time we were together other than when we went shooting the guns out in the Cali desert. I miss that guy alot. But yep, he used to tell me all about the Swedish history. He was proud of his heritage for certain.
