Bill,

I'd be nervous to go any faster than that. However, take into consideration
that this is a 16" Syncro with the lowest gear ratios available and with
205/75/16 very knobby tires. Why go to a 1.6td when you can go to a 1.9td,
1.9tdd, or 1.9tdi?

My buddy's 2wd Doka with a 1.9td can go 85mph and still have room to zoom. Of
course he has an air-cooled tranny in there too.
