It did have a 1400 and 5 speed though. 1 hour ago, goes2fast said: It turns out that my memory isn't as good as I thought. I managed to find the photo that I took of the speedometer that night. I knew that someday I would need proof. Honestly, any 1200 with a good A14/A15 and a 5 speed should be able to hit 95-100. I had a stock one (with a Weber 32/36, though) do 89, and my modified A15 had no trouble breaking 100 (barely). Quote Link to comment

Mine came with headers, and some odd Weber on it that had driveability issues so I replaced it with a DGV 32/36. The overdrive and a little downhill helped it get past 100. 😎 I ran across some leftover 1200 stuff that I need to send to you, if you can PM me your address? Quote Link to comment

Was just considering 97 to be a bit slow compared to what I used to do. The picture confirms.... also I seem to remember you can get the needle to wrap a bit more than that around too.
