With that lift at 100mph I would guess it would need to go at least 120 before take off wind energy has a square relationship with wind speed and the actual lift is reduced from that since the coefficient is less than one. I do not knoqw the formula to figure it out, but it would be interesting to know. I don't think a Ghia has ever done 120 in the 1/4 without one of those mega spoilers on it.
