Post your results here. I'm sitting on 139MPH What a rush

117 near Watkins Glen (not on the track)

122 MPH. on 35 MPH. back road. When i go to florida i plan to hit better than that. I'll try to take video.

150 mph back and forth to work....... until my OD died. Then i was doing 120.

116 mph on I-5 near Stockton, CA between onramps to the highway!

115 on a undisclosed highway in the middle of NOWHERE :lol: http://www.smokinvette.com/corvettephotos/data/502/F100_plate_002.jpg

Back in 96 me and the old man were working on a 91 vette. Did a chip/gears/valvetrain/cam/headers/full exhaust. We did 176 on a country back road. Thats the fastest ive ever gone in a car

176MPH?? or is that KPH? :rofl: I won't mention my top speed. Lets just say I haven't crossed into a triple # :leaving:

It was mph. With the correct speedo drive gear. Lemme tell ya on a two lane thats smokin. We passed a chrysler 4 dr it was funny watching the little thing shake in the rear view.

146!! This was the most fun that I have had in a car! Very scary yet exciting at the same time! I recomend going fast to everyone atleast once!

I personally don't trust mine to go hitting the speads you all have hit, I might get in the 90's but thats about it! :(

120 on the highway.The car didn't feel good at high speed.I think it needed new ball joints.

Only 107MPH on freeway, didn't want to push the car.

150 mph back and forth to work....... until my OD died. Then i was doing 120.

man you where zipping along!

Had my 89 vert up to around 90mph once, not a big fan of going like a bat out of ell on public raodways. To much to loose.

104 on an interstate. Was merging into a lot of traffic and didn't realize I was going that fast. Felt like it had a lot more left.

Who's wing is on the back of your ride? You have some more pics? Typically not a fan of wings but that looks pretty good. :cheers:

cop clocked me at 148 in my 84.
i turned the car off at 150 the go pedal had got stuck

ok. update on mine. 146 on I-75 south to florida. would have kept pushing but i was running out of room.

This goes to both you two: :burnout: :party: :party: :party:

Well.......had a 1968 up to 110 on the pa pike in 1970 and had a ticket to show for it!

Did 127 mph once on a 56 mph (90km) two lane road. Having a 2.59 rear end the higher rpms also got to work a little.

Nothing serious 118MPH

i took mine to 150mph on a back country 2 lane rd, passed a olds 4 door sedan at 119, that was a rush.

Its been awhile but I would say just over 100mph. I know "weak sauce" :smack: I just have not had the perfect opportunity!

130 for me on freeway. OK if you want to get technical it was 128, so I rounded it up! The car for being as old as it is had plenty of pull left. Driver just got scared about getting pulled over!

108 for me and backed off quickly. Didn't want to lose my toy as fast as i got it. It sure got up there in a hurry though!

Anyone have any track stories? I'm wondering how the C4s handle on a track with lots o' turns.

130mph at 4am on my way to work one morning...

I've floored my 96 LT-1 to 167mph on the 41 up to Fresno. I think I had a slight tail wind.

147 with the top down....very smooth ride!

Slow and steady, right up to the speed limit.:party:

135 in my 85, have not rung my 96 out yet.

135 passing a douche bag that tried to hold me in the other lane...I hate it when people do crap like that...

135 give or take a few. Car handles like a dream! Some day i would like to get it to a track or old airport run way and open it up!

The fastest I had my 92 is 122 on I-17 heading back into Phoenix. Plan to go faster when I go to CA next month.

The fastest in my Vette is about 140, one time only. I would rather cruise with the top off on a senic back road. :driving:

Hello
The fastest I go with my'87 Vette was 152mph (250km/h).
That's great.:burnout:

Frank

I had my 84 up to 145. We have a great spot , straight, flat. You just hope at that speed no one pulls out from one of the side roads:patriot:

I was today on the Autobahn and my Topspeed was 146mph.:driving:

Frank

103 on my way to a car show on I-83 outside of York PA

According to my GPS I hit 148.6 yesterday on a back road Love the feature that tells me top speed, it's a great feature.

Thats cool, what that GPS set you back?

163.5 at the Las Vegas ZR-1 Gathering - Took down a Lamborghini Gallardo (He was pissed, and tried to blame the timing gear :party: )

Thats cool, what that GPS set you back?
Got it a while back I think it was around 450. I got it at best buy and like I said it was a while ago.

You mean today ? Try to do 100 + at least once a week. 130 top so far.

My '87 has 320,400 miles on it. It had just over 200,000 when I bought it. So I haven't really horsed it. But have had it over 100 a few times. It's certainly no land speed record, but just to show high mileage Vettes still handle really well. Because I was on a pretty curvy road while at that speed and the car handled just fine. :cheers:

Just did 134 over the weekend! Sounded pretty good, had'nt gotten a good rush like that in awhile!

I been up to 130 on I 69 heading west to I 75 north in Michigan. I saw a kid beating the crap out of his Grand Prix going 110 to 120. I was doing exzaly 69 on I 69 when he flew by me. I just couldn't resist my curiosity on how fast I could catch him. So it was 1 HailMarry and a wide open throttle. I don't think those stickers on his door helped him go faster because I caught up to him in no time and slowed back don just when I passed him. There was no real traffic due to it being lte at night so.I guess I gave it a free 4 all run. That was the only time I spead in that car.:eek: :ack2: :ack2:

129, how sorry is that? lol well no tickets so I must be doing something right!:cheers:

i got 135 on a 2 lane highway out in the middle of texas. great adrenaline rush!! plan on goin faster after i drop a 383 under the hood!!

156!! This was the fastest I have ever been in any car!! Very high rush!

so far the fastest I had my 84' was 135mph and that was fast enough for me :burnout:

wow! there are some speed racers on here! I am kind of a chicken when it comes to going fast! I have only gone 105! I can hear you laughing!

I really haven't still working on it I know it takes a bunch of hp to go over 150

I was going to marco one night I completly backed out of it and still was doing 130 you don't have a lot of time to ck things out allways keep the shiney side up! been there dun that! thats not bragging just facts

107 is the fastest I have gone. That is what the speedo said at the end of the Drag strip before I let off. My time slip was a 13.7 @ 101 MPH. I try not to speed on the street. Not that I don't want to just don't want to get in trouble...

145 today

Did 135mph today in my 84. She handled beautiful and still had more to go.

I ran 146 MPH, in a '96 I used to own, on I-35 between Oklahoma City and Stillwater, Oklahoma one night, and it had plently left. I currently drive an '02 Z06, but I haven't tried anything over 130 MPH. :patriot:

Just recently went 134!!!! I was scared crazy!! What a rush though!!:party:

allright!!!!

Me and the ole lady hit 127 from a stop sign to a bridge going home one night about 2 in the morning,I could'nt hear the engine from all of her screaming,lol,what a rush !

137 MPH in Montana! 1989 Roadster.

NICE!!! I bet everything was a blur, how long did you keep it at that speed?

Wow, I'm new to the Vette scene but i've done 145mph on my bike...it's fast but i've only done 120 in a car before. 145 is scary as hell on a bike, i'd feel much safer in a car going that speed!

BTW 145 was a one time thing...I don't do it all the time...and it was on a highway with no cars.

162mph...I ran out of ballz not engine!

96 LT1--Ran up to 158 mph,could have done more, was playing with 2007 base Vette. At 158 mph he was crusing 100 yards behind me!! Morral of story---DON'T pick on newer Vette's!!!

I hit 150mph with a new porshe still a few car lengths ahead with my beefed up L98 , now installing a fresh 406, can't wait to see him again..........................................

137 mph, got there quick, ran out of nerve :burnout:

Have only done 105mph in my C4..my previous C5 bout 154mph..'07 Zx-10R 189mph...118mph in my '08 Tundra...:party:

I hit 137 in the vette, my truck shuts off at 100, and the El camino only has a round 85 mph speedo, but ive made it go all the way around and hit the peg again a few times. 130???

I haven't had my Vette very long (2 1/2 weeks) so I did get it up to 105 one night. Want to do somethings to the car before I push it till I know it good to go. I have done 136 on my motorcycle and 169.912 mph in a Can Am car that I was the crew chief for back in 1967.:thumbsup3: :cheers:

I'm not putting any #'s up. Whenever I have a reckless moment & get into the tripple digits I always envision Barney Fife slamming the cell door on me while he tells Sheriff Andy "This guy here was goin 2 & 1/2 times the speed limit out on the highway in one of them thair Corvettie's."

86 vette speedo reads 154 miles an hour on I95

Only 120mph on the I-5 chasing down my buddies BMW he just bought.

:drool5: I was reading these and remembered that back in 1979 I replaced a headgasket on this young ladys 1968 Vette. It had a 427 a iron block and L88 heads and intake. :thumbsup3: It also had a cam that some boozo installed that didn't know what he was doing. I got the car running like a stripped a$$ banshee.:banana: It took me three days of test driving to make sure it was running right.:rofl: Anyway one of those days i had my brother in law riding with me. We were sitting at a stop sign when a friend of his past by us on the cross street in a 78 Trans Am going 110mph. My brother in law ask if I could catch him I just smiled and jumped on it. His friend stayed on it and we pasted him in somewhere around a mile way over 160mph. That was as high as the speedo read and we hit that number by third. The brother in laws friend asked him a week or two later : What in the hell is in that Vette? I think he just smiled and said a big block.:cheers:

108 for me and backed off quickly. Didn't want to lose my toy as fast as i got it. It sure got up there in a hurry though!

Anyone have any track stories? I'm wondering how the C4s handle on a track with lots o' turns.
I am here only the stock 84 can handle the o turns 85 up you have to do some work to suspension.Right down the road from me they run a corvette only track at a old airbase in bunkerhill,In.One of the guys thats help take care of the races and does vette tuning told me this he has had every vette on the track.i plan to be there this coming summer testing my 84.

Oh my highest speed is 115 on country road flying by corn

Years ago i got to run a street class 93 on the flats. I saw 186mph but they only posted it at 178mph. I was so mad that i never went back.
The cops claimed they clocked my 87 at 156mph but i wasn't there then(wink,wink)...they lost track of it heading into the mountains.:rofl:

:burnout: I took it up to 130 MPH on I-74, but I had to slow down cause I was catching up to all the cars/traffic in front of me and there wasn't any room to go around.

And I took it to 125 on the drive from Houston to IL when there wasn't anyone around, but stopped cause it was dark and I didn't know the road.

I've yet to top it out, and I can't wait until I have the chance......but holy ****, it's a rush!:hump:

Got her up to 132mph recently, what a rush! Although maybe its just me but in a vette it never feels like you are going as fast as the odometer reads! :rofl:

about 120, not fast enough in my opinion!!

Recently pushed her to 133mph, she got a bit shakey though

havent broken 110 :(

Have only done 105mph in my C4..my previous C5 bout 154mph..'07 Zx-10R 189mph...118mph in my '08 Tundra...:party:OMG!! 189?! I'm freeking jealous!! way to go!:thumbsup3:

Haven't even broken 100 yet :(

98mph

153 in vette going up hill and 167 on my 954RR

Man I loved my '03 Titanium 954RR it was fast!!

153 in vette going up hill and 167 on my 954RR
You have a pic of your 954RR?! :drool5:

hey, anybody know what it would take to get a 94 vette to break 200mph?! possible?

Steep downhill and strong tail wind...

I'e had my ZR-1 up to 240 KPH (150MPH), with so much more pedal left. It was a blast. It was on a empty stretch of highway.
Anyone one get stopped by cops at highspeed?

Anyone one get stopped by cops at highspeed?Yea, doing over 90mph. He was pretty cool though turned out he owned a vette "back in his wild days" and we got to talking about vettes and living it up, and he wrote the ticket for 70+ lol, thought I was going to get off, but I guess that was better than having my car impounded and jail time! :doh:

I got my vette' 3 days ago. 89' with 4k on the rebuilt motor, new clutch, new tires. Looks mint.

I've broken 120 about 13 times already.

I gotta chill out.

YEa, you r not joking, I got popped twice!:doh: :doh: :doh::iagree: been there done that!:banghead:

cleared 150mph on the open highway, what a rush!!:worship:

110mph,on semi empty highway,let up with traffic ahead,could have gott'en a little more out of her.

hey, anybody know what it would take to get a 94 vette to break 200mph?! possible?

Sure you can it only takes buckets of money and lots of room.:banana:

130 on I-44 in Tulsa at 12 midnight chasing a little black nitro'd Miata. Spanked that Mazda till she spit sparks out the tailpipe and exited the Interstate. Cool experience.

I buzzed a CHP suburban one night last year doing about 150 mph. It sucked, had to sleep in a construction yard.

It was my friends vette years ago. And I went 152 mph and got a ticket for 107 over in 45mph zone. Ouch!

"173"on a deserted parkway. verified by GPS and a state trooper(luckily my son in law) . Great rush.:banana: :banana:

Nice little connection there!:thumbsup3:

125 i let it coast back down to the speed limmit and saw someone pulled over by the cops

98mph

I expect I like to go fast as much as the next guy or gal but having crashed couple of race cars on the track I just can not see going over 100 mph on a public road with no real safety equipment and no live stock (cows,deer,dogs etc.)control.Crashs hurt. On public roads I drive close to the posted limit and enjoy.
Regards: TGR

once I hit 90 it shakes like a crack addict in desperate need of a fix. The new tires and eventual alignment should fix all that though...

143mph on the back straight away at Road America, Elkhart Lake, WI.
Fall Festival noon Touring-Ha Ha. Did have my new Goodyear boots on.
Fun Fun.
tvett68

Hit 82 and that the fastest. but in my younger days took a mustang over 250MPH!!!! Jet car i opaid tovride in the passenger seat!!LOL

i got 135 on a 2 lane highway out in the middle of texas. great adrenaline rush!! plan on goin faster after i drop a 383 under the hood!!

I had a 383 in mine, ran 148 top end.

You better be careful in Florida. The speeding fine is over $1000 if you are going more that 50 MPH over the speed limit!!!

In my 90 Z-51 I raced a brand new Ferrari and got up to 190 or at least that is what my speedo said. I blew him away just going into 6th gear. (115MPH)

I think in all your excitment racing a Ferrari, you must have hit the metric gauge switch.

On a cruise in August, got up to 100 on the Interstate.

Took a quick pic on a cruise earlier this year.

Fast enough, for me.
Not a fan of tickets, last one was back in 1974.

I hit 12? this wekend playing with a lotus. My wife started screaming when I tapped the brakes to go around a corner. She says I took it at 110. Didnt seem that fast to me since I was on the Lotus's a$$ and passed him when the road straightened out. Them Lotus's can turn pretty good but they aint got nothing on a V-8 in the straights. I would love to do it again but I gotta leave the wife at home next time.

im a whimp... ive only got her up to 80mph.. this is alot of car for me.. and i dont truely know her as well as i want to, before i try and get up in the triple digits

the brakes are diffrent the handling is diff. than my truck and other car...

so let me and sookie get really aquainted and i will get back to YA!

I think 126 for me on a long 2 lane highway passing 2 semis and 2 other trucks pulling trailors all at once. Probably not one of my better ideas lol. Texas 7 was the road. a57chevy43 knows it I'm sure.

189:rofl:

What Lotus was it?, GM employed the Lotus crew to build the LT series engines, not many a Lotus can be whipped, i'll bet he pulled out.
'Lotus' has been a world class designer and builder for decades and make super high reving, twin cam, world winning engines along with Ferrari, thats why GM wanted them , to help get 'Corvette' sales up and get more power out of the Pushrod V8, LT [Lotus] series they can be beat, but they are not easy.
Lotus excell i beleive was a 2.2 litre 4 cylinder, high rever, small car, could not whip most corvette's in a srtraight line, but was superb on corners etc.

In my 90 Z-51 I raced a brand new Ferrari and got up to 190 or at least that is what my speedo said. I blew him away just going into 6th gear. (115MPH)

Thats awesome. I'd love to get my ZR-1 to 185MPH, but I don't have the balls to do it on the crappy hwys at home. I've hit 150 before.

Don't underestimate Lotus. Remember they designed the LT5.

Even though I like Lotus cars, GM didn't need them for the ZR-1. Olds wanted to make the W-43 engine, it would have put away everything-shelby cobras, hemi 'cudas, LS-6 chevelles.

They had the engineers to do a 4 valve per V-8, what happened?

It was basically two seats shoved between 4 tires. It was extremely tiny and I promise the tone from the engine was no V-8

My wife just informed me that I am getting a radar detector for X-mas. "The best money can buy":rofl:

It was basically two seats shoved between 4 tires. It was extremely tiny and I promise the tone from the engine was no V-8

Most likely the Excell then, twin cam 4 cylinder one of their smaller ones, You were lucky, that was the baby Lotus, should have been called the 'Focus' unlike their high reving ferrari competing V12!
Those can push you approx 200 mph in a mile or so, with a mild 400 hp and approx 4.5 litre or so.

96 LT1--Ran up to 158 mph,could have done more, was playing with 2007 base Vette. At 158 mph he was crusing 100 yards behind me!! Morral of story---DON'T pick on newer Vette's!!!

I wont say how fast we were going, but a new C6 pulled along side late one night on the road between Vegas and Phoenix, and I blew his doors off. If it would have been a Z06 it might have been a race. (OF course Im not stock):eek2:

132 ................ but I Stopped ... Still Would Like To Find Out What She Would Do ....

I was on the autobahn when I hit 205! Telephone poles looked like a picket fence and the lines on the road looked like dots.... : ) In all honesty that was going somewhat down hill. Oh that's right. That wasn't with the 84. That was in 89 with a little Ford and it was floored. Seriously I've only hit about 115mph and that was on a two laner in the boonies where all we had to worry about were deer and moose's in the UP.

Seriously I've only hit about 115mph and that was on a two laner in the boonies where all we had to worry about were deer and moose's in the UP.

I remember the same thing about the poles at around 150. But to me the dotted line seems to start blurring toward looking solid.
I don't think the pre 91s could break 170 without a lot of HP...i would guess close to 1000Hp. Their aerodynamics are too square for those speeds.
Up in those numbers most cars start hitting a wall to keep from going faster. On the flats i couldn't do it untill i went to narrower wheels with semi-solid tires. A guy there lent them to me and i don't remember exactly what they were.
From others, who had enough money, i have seen that wind tunnel test show the rounded rear bumper of 91s up have a better flow to get faster...I was shocked to see that the rear made more difference than the nose.
Callaway had some problems getting the speedster (?) up over 195 from what i read. He literally had to form rounded edges on the fender openings and side vents using duct tape to break 200...about that time i remember every-one started calling it 200mph tape...around the same time a funny car used it to hold a broken body together reinforcing that name.
As well as these cars are designed they just don't do over 200mph with-out some serious detailed changes to the suspension and body as well as the engine. The ZR-1 might in factory set-up, but it is only because they changed some of the dimensions in the rear...remember what i said about wind tunnel tests.
Around 150 the 84-90 body is becoming too unstable to continue and the 91up starts showing that also at around 175. It is tempting fate to try to pass those speeds w/o aerodynamic changes. Just try to remember that while you are out playing in them.
I had a lot of people volunteer help to me when i tried the flats. With-out that help i wouldn't have had a chance at doing as well as i did. I know there is no way i could do it again on my own.

I had a lot of people volunteer help to me when i tried the flats. With-out that help i wouldn't have had a chance at doing as well as i did. I know there is no way i could do it again on my own.

The first ZR-1 vettes were squared off and had no trouble going what 180 mph?:DeadHorse:

137mph is the fastest I've had my Vette. That was at the Atlanta Motor Speedway doing the CABC event. The fastest that I have ever gone is 172mph that was in my '69 Camaro some time ago.

Ive had my Vette up to 120 and it was a rush. Ive been up to 140 and still accelerating extremely fast when he let off in a buddy's twin turbo syclone truck. that was the fastest thing ive ever been in and its a extreme rush!

I have only had mine up to about 110 or so. I'm with a few of the others when they said they had too much to lose. Also had a small vibration that increased with speed so I didn't wanna push that, I think it's the bearing but we'll see. I'd like to at least hit 125 or so maybe higher depending on how it feels but it'll have to wait til I get a new bearing and stuff and everything has to feel perfect or I won't push it. As far as the cops if I'm already over a hundred I'll just get off at the next exit, they won't catch me that quick. Especially around here, they still use the Crown Vics with the governors that kick in at 120 or 130...

I had my 69 Vette up to 144 on I-84 down by Port Jervis when it first opened. Blew past a Trooper with radar too. I was lucky, he never came out to play.

I think in all your excitment racing a Ferrari, you must have hit the metric gauge switch.

I had checked that. LOL Scared the hell out of me when I saw how fast I was going.

I acidently hit 115 yesterday. Was passing a semi on a semi busy road and I looked down and holy crap 115. It didnt even feel that fast.

:vomitbuddy: :drool5: I was reading these and remembered that back in 1979 I replaced a headgasket on this young ladys 1968 Vette. It had a 427 a iron block and L88 heads and intake. :thumbsup3: It also had a cam that some boozo installed that didn't know what he was doing. I got the car running like a stripped a$$ banshee.:banana: It took me three days of test driving to make sure it was running right.:rofl: Anyway one of those days i had my brother in law riding with me. We were sitting at a stop sign when a friend of his past by us on the cross street in a 78 Trans Am going 110mph. My brother in law ask if I could catch him I just smiled and jumped on it. His friend stayed on it and we pasted him in somewhere around a mile way over 160mph. That was as high as the speedo read and we hit that number by third. The brother in laws friend asked him a week or two later : What in the hell is in that Vette? I think he just smiled and said a big block.:cheers: In the mid 70's I had an RP 68 Vette. 500 hp full race 2800lbs and the fastest I ever went was about 154 on a race track and it was clocked. Your speedo was off and so is your common sense for doing that on the street

I am too chicken these days! lol

177....had to shut it down i was running out of road. I was going to see if the zr-1 would really do 180, but 177 was close enough for me...havent done it since, now i usually shut it down around 165 on my higher speed runs.

I got up to 107, the highway in ct. is always to crowded to go any faster plus I don't want to lose my new toy that I love so much. I did get up to 125 in my husbands Z28 many years ago a cop started chasing us but I managed to get off the highway exit and get away from him LOL.:woowoo:

120 top off in a 91 vert auto

This was a clever thread. Most of us who own a Corvette liked to go fast, at least at some point in our lives, even if long before we owned a car capable and safe enough to go that fast. Problem is, nowadays, pushing a hundred on an overpass or entrance ramp is about the quickest thrill you can get away with, though still risking your license. However, memories can be fun, too, like swapping the 85 speedo in an 84 Monte Carlo SS for a 140, adding headers, cams, re-jet carb, & chip to add 100hp, ... and then burying the needle on a 5 mile straight dead-end desert road to nowhere in then desolate north-east Scottsdale, and being glad to say you don't know how fast you were going. Whew!

Lets just say it was up there! It is a RUSH, the wife would have kicked my *** if she was there. She just shook her head when I told her.

130 if I still lived in phoenix I would know how fast it goes .

About 130 in my 92'.

I had my vet for 3 months and put 1000 milles on it not realy opened up yet I waiting to find all the bugs in the car first before I run it hard top speed so far 101 MPH.
Plus I also kinda waiting to put a New motor in it i don't want a motor to let go at high speed putting oil under tires that would be very bad.
165 Mph on my old Suzuki GSXR and 120 Mph on my KTM 560 Dirt Bike 120 Mph I in my old 1982 TA
The funny thing I feel right at home on a bike at high speed but a car I am still getting use to.

Only had it since April 1st. Had it to 140 and had it sideways and nearly too far gone at 77 last weekend on the North Track at Beaverun. Stayed in it, saved it with one foot in the grass and the 315's layin down rubber...the spectators complimented me on the action later. The shakes lasted about 10 minutes cause it was a close one. I like this car too much to lose it so soon...lol.

146 on the 210 at 6am on a sunday no one on the freeway

I had my first C4, an 86 automatic coupe I only owned about a year, up to 149 mph. It might have been just a touch higher but then I had to look away to keep my eyes on the road slowing down. I also later had a new 88 convertible that I would get to about 120, but only a couple times. But back to my 86, when I was a senior in high school a college girl I was dating at the time lived in a small town nearby and after our dates I would come home around 1 or 2 AM and hit a lonely stretch of highway where it regularly allowed me to go 125 for about 2 minutes. I was home in no time!

Big T

Eyes tend to stick to the road once you get up to and past the 150mph mark!

I've had my 87 up to 101 on a 2-lane backroad. Car felt stable and still felt like she had more left.

I sure hope so.....

I did a 125 this week, just to get a buzz!!!

I sure hope so.....

?? hope so what?

That she had more in her at 101. Even Cavaliers do 115 with a speed limiter...lol.

guess I should have been a little more concise on what I said. She was still pulling hard and despite needing a good tune-up had plenty left, atleast plenty for me, for now ;)

sustaned speed for 10 miles..... 2 miles A Minute..120mph comfy....VERY COMFY....mmmmmmmm:479:

I would thank good engineers, and tires ;) and congrats on the speed.

Those as well :)

Returning from a business trip last July in my 87, 80-90 Toll Road in Indiana @ 3:00 am. Just me and a few semi's. Hit 140 for a few miles, felt great but once I returned to 90 it felt like I was crawling along. I have that moment itched in my brain. Indiana State Police would have kicked my *** if stopped. I usually never speed. I race the 90 vette so its cathartic for my need for speed.

120mph for about 10 sec.
