RE: [DML] Jim Varney's "D"

["Jack & Virginia Stiefel" <stiefel@xxxx>]

I cannot say for sure, but what I have heard was that the automatic might be
the 115 MPH, and a 5 speed is about 130-140... Don't call me on it if I am
wrong, I am only referencing what I was told once or twice.

I thought the Ds top speed was 120 tops and really was about 115 stock so
thats a far cry from 140
