I think thats what the spare tire is for :)
I did it once and never again. An 88" wheel base just isn't meant to go 95
no matter what engine is in it. I did pick a nice long straight section of
interstate with no cars around and just wanted to see how fast it would go
with the current gearing. I still had a long way to go in the throttle, but
it was just too scarey.
