Default Re: Max Speed of a Model A in Stock Form

When I setup my Model "B" engine for touring, it must be able to make my Model "A" go 70 mph initially, but I do not drive at this speed. 70 mph is a road test target to assure that my Model "B" engine is doing everything is should be. As for the Model "A" engine, 65 mph is my target test speed. Typically, my highway cruising speed is 50 - 55 mph. On country roads, I generally cruise at 45 - 50 mph.

If the brakes in your Model "A" cannot lockup all 4 wheels and skid straight, you should not be driving it on public roads.
