Same here. Have the right size tires, too. According to my tach/speedo my
loaf is an animal, no doubt. My speedometer says 95 mph when I'm at 4100
rpm, stock engine. Go figure. I let her have it, actually think maybe it was
something VW did, so when people took it for a test drive, they would be
convinced that Vanagons aren't such lame ducks. After all, they feel like
they're going fast.
