If you've wanted to go really fast in your Pinto, take a look at http://www.landracing.com Fastest Pinto on this site was 141 mph.

My Pinto has gone 145 mph + in the 1/4 mile

And the irony, I remember years ago there were wind tunnel test that stated the Pinto was more aerodynamic backwards than forward. Anyone remember the Bill Cosby commercials where there were a series of huge fans blowing sideways as Pinto's drove by to illustrate that the "wrap-around sides" made it a stable car in high winds. That aspect was a real knock on small cars at the time. So, should you spin sideways in your Pinto don't expect wind resistance to slow you down much!

Hmm, I might have to install Gurney Flaps when I return to Hillclimb racing ;D
