Poulson, Widener University Department of Computing Services > Josh, These speeds are well above the cruising speeds of the *Planes* I fly. The 145 number is AMAZING. Let's see some Asian *sedan* do that! I would be really p.o'd if I were flying IFR (I Follow Roads), and I was passed underneath by a Corrado (Or even a ...FOX!) "...if she had a set of wings man I know she would fly.." Matthew p.s. I guess now we know "the airspeed velocity of an unladen Corrado" ppss Way to much Monty Python and Beach Boys as a teen..sorry.
