So with stock gearing 7,000 rpm is about 180 mph. I think people on the highway would be shocked to see a Model A pass them at 180 mph.

At Bonneville, it is not surprising.

And, just to be clear, Most people on the freeway today do not even know what a Model A is.

I don't get these numbers, do you. The A carb does 64.21 HP. The B carb does 63.86 HP. Why is the B carb less?
