| Was originally converted to Optima yellow tops and was used that way for most of its life, and as such the accelleration was about like the original ICE. However, on moving from flat Tucson to northern Idaho, I needed more range so installed the Interstate floodeds. Now the range is better, but it can't handle the hills here at over 20 mph. | |||||||
