Old, You might head over to your local dragstrip if you think 149 in the 1/8 is not all that fast.
Most of the time I agree or enjoy your posts. But a 1967 Alfa has whopping 109hp. There is no way that car would ever hit 165mph "and it was not even starting to get up to speed" in your words.

To give a not even similar comparison the land speed record right now in MPs/PG1650 is right around 160mph. That is a 1650cc push rod fuel engine. But, this is in a motorcyle, way lighter.
Only thing I can think of is your speedo since its an Alfa was still reading in kilometers, which would put you around 101mph. I can believe that.
