My Dodge was right on with my GPS until I put the larger tires on. Now it reads about 5% slower than I am actually going. A sheriff's deputy up in Wyoming was kind enough to bring that to my attention.

 

got it up to a 128-ish on a L-O-N-G downhill in montana during one of my cross country moves a few years back. the downside (other than being passed like i was standing still by a state cop ?!?! - where the f*ck was HE going?!) was that a tank of gas lasted something like 150 miles. but it was a fast tank. we sustained 110+ for the whole tank. except the uphill. fast in a disco going uphill - not so much...

 

holy crap i wonder where he was going,,,

 

Probably to your house Sloppy

 

80 mph downhill with a tailwind

 

And she shook like the Carpathia on her way to save the Titantic didnt she?

 

Ive done 140+ in 3 diffrent vehicles..

The early Q45 140ish
87 BMW 745i 145ish
86 Corvette 150ish

The Vette was the only scary one, the others were confortable and confident..

 

oh yeah, it was probably for that thing with that chick,,,

giggity

 

i was driving across montana on I-80.
have you ever driven across montana?! holy sh*t it takes forever - even at 110mph.
as to the legal question : this took place a few years ago when they were not enforcing the speed limit during day light hours.
i did it one time just to see what my rover would do. never again...
knowing my baby CAN do it makes me feel a little better when those annoying little twerps in the rice burning hondas with NOs stickers fly by me on I-5 however.

and yes it shook like the carpathia until 100 mph then it kinda smoothed out - like a big old boat getting on plane. sorta...

 

I plan on hitting the 'Texas Mile' one of these years and seeing what I can get up to.


Not... in my Disco of-course. x_x
