Don't forget to factor in the built in speedo error of 6% + 3 mph. Or
was it 6mph + 3%. I forgot.

Hey Damon,
I've got no brake advice, but hitting 90 mph deserves a round of
applause. You can get the 1.9L up to about 96 before the rev limiter
shuts
down the fuel injectors. But, you need a big hill to test that theory!
Mountains north of Phoenix did it for me! The hardest part is
unsticking
your hands from the steering wheel afterwards. Cramp!
