An indicated (estimated) 103 mph, rev limiter in 4th, '87 Wolfsburg, 2.1L
waterboxer, 205/70R14 tires, stock tranny.   BTW that's over the redline and
off of the speedo scale, coincidentally that was on the last motor too.  The
new motor has been up to about 5000-5100 rpm in 4th, somewhere between 90
and 95, indicated.  The other motor died of other causes, but this probably
didn't help.
