[T3] Turn Key Type 3 1600 For Sale (Colorado)

[Max Welton]

Adam, what you might want to do is take a drive in my car after 
this weather clears.

In many ways (stock intake, stock sized exhaust, 7:1 CR) it is 
probably the mildest 1776 you'll ever drive. And from exit 161
it is capable of breaking the speed limit by the top of Monument hill.

 I may have been a little
 dramatic with my description of its abilities. I was keeping
 up with traffic. I just don't have the ability to
 accelerate on the straightaway like I would like. 
 
 As far as highway cruising, 70
 is where it likes to speed with the ability to go 75 in a
 passing situation. The only problem with that is that the
 speed limit is 75 and everyone goes 80. I would like the
 ability to cruise 75 and still be able to pass if need be.
 
 
 Between Colorado Springs
 and Denver there is monument pass. In either direction I am
 limited by power to 60 to 65 mph. This is a nuisance. In my
 area there is just too much common elevation change to
 justify being on the highway. I don't want to speed, but
 I would like to keep up. The 1600 isn't the way and I
 have the ability to change that. 
 
 As far as "living in the alps" I am
 at a base altitude of 6300 in the valley. That takes a toll
 right there. Ute pass is the nearest country drive that
 climbs to 9300 ft in 20 miles. On the way to Denver you
 climb to a little over 7100 ft in 20 miles. That is just a
 lot of hill climbing for a lowly 1600 in a 2000 lb square.
