I rarely drive my 24 T over 35mph (estimated-no speedo). Always on local roads with long stopping distances. Yes it will do 45, but remember, you are in a 100 year old car with wood wheels, wood framing, no seat belts and almost no brakes. I rolled on model T on its top when it went over center, and have personally known others who were injured. Not a good vehicle for x-ways, or multi lane local roads. My hat is off to the cross country T drivers, but not for me unless the car is on a trailer!
