it has insufficient power to move its weight at that speed.

just be careful if you live in a hilly area but you should be ok if your only going down them as marroon colour is trying to resurface

Does it have large tyres on it?on not so large tyres on a good run on a cold day an NA should juust about get to 70, but itll be begging for mercy.
60 should be possible though, with enough run up.

My Dad had a N/A 90 years ago and 70mph was the best it ever gave on the flat, did 80 downhill once though and I think that was on 6.50/16 tyres.
The 200TDI he had afterwards was nothing short of a revelation.....

I run from Leeds to Ipswich once every two weeks or so in my 1986 2.5 N/A with 235x85xR16 tyres and I can achieve 70 on the flat, 65 is usually the sweet spot, and sometimes 75 towards 80 down hill. I did give the whole thing a full rebuild not long ago though and it does scream at these speeds. I have also adjusted the fuel pump timing and set it sweet so that it runs perfectly.
Remove the oil filler cap when the engine is running and up to temperature. Is there a lot of blow by?

I've got a G reg 90 2.5 TD and I've got it up to 80 downhill.
There's a particulary steep hill in the next village that I crawl up at 40.
Not your typical 17 year old boy racer.
