Hi Jim,

Most dolphins aren’t that fast (although way faster than me in the water!!) and have top speeds in the range of 18-25 mph. Dall’s porpoise is the quickest at almost 35 mph, along with 0rca at much the same speed. Some dolphin’s can exceed this speed while bow riding (common dolphins have been timed at 37 mph on a bow wave). Bit far removed from the cars we love, but like the GT40, the dolphins have great shapes. Excellent sculpture Steve.
