Racing bus?  80mph w/ 1000lbs payload?

I have a tourbus, 5200lbs GVW ready to rock and roll.  I have enough torque
and tall enough gearing to ton-up before redline on the tach.

I also have larger brakes.

90MPH is scary on the superslab, even scarier in traffic, much scarier with
marginal brakes.

Upgrade those binders or put me in your will.
