Josh,

  These speeds are well above the cruising speeds of the *Planes*
I fly. The 145 number is AMAZING. Let's see some Asian *sedan* 
do that!

 I would be really p.o'd if I were flying IFR (I Follow Roads), and
I was passed underneath by a Corrado (Or even a ...FOX!)

"...if she had a set of wings man I know she would fly.."

Matthew

p.s. I guess now we know "the airspeed velocity of an unladen Corrado"

ppss Way to much Monty Python and Beach Boys as a teen..sorry.
