I don't push mine that high. Around here you can't anyway... too many hills
and curves. That's the pacific north west for you. There is one section of 
freeway on the east side of town that is straight for about 8 miles that you
can get up over 100mph but cops are like flies around here. And with my
luck I'd end up in a "drug free zone" while going over an over pass where 
the fine quadriples or something like that.
Anyway as I was saying I don't push it that high the 460 has 113k and tops 
out around 105mph and is fairly close to redline right there. Although 460's 
are fairly easy to rebuild I'd like to have the block intact with no big huge
gaping holes with connecting rods sticking out the sides when several years
from now it comes time to rebuild the thing. It's been in the family since
1980 and was the first thing I ever drove (I was 12 and way out in the middle
of no where at the time). 
Ttyl,
