That is a great accomplishment.
Perhaps this is my inherent sarcasm surfacing, but when non-Model A people ask me how fast my Model A will go, I sometimes reply with a statement that the proper question might be: "How fast can it stop".
For me, I feel that speeds much higher than 50-55 mph are kind of scary, given the Model A suspension system and brakes. I have excellent tires, steering, suspension, and braking, but I still don't like traveling at speeds above 50-55 mph, especially with all of the distracted drivers out there. Others may have better Model A's than me and/or more courage.
