Just giving this forum a fun topic instead of just a tech feel. Plus I thought it would be fun to see how fast someone has gone in a D1. Not saying I recommend it or think it's a good idea.

I have a 160 mph speedo in my Merc station wagon, and I know it will do at least half of it. Thought the Disco had a built in limit of about 114... gas gauge probably moves a little faster there. But with high center of gravity and the aerodynamics of a brick, not such a good idea. Seen plenty in the junk yard that have rolled over.

When I lived in Florida, I had a 280ZX and a 73 Mustang with a 302. If I left for work at 7:30, the ten mile trip took every bit of a half hour due to the bumper to bumper traffic.
If I waited until 7:50 or so, the traffi was much lighter, I could jump on I-95, hit 110 or better and make the trip in aboput six or seven minutes.
We used to routinely cruise over 100 in the 280, the Mustang, the Volvo 240 and later a MB420SEL.
The other day I got the Discovery up to 70 or 75 and felt that was too much. They are definitely not a high speed cruiser like those other vehicles.
