[quote=“Adictd2b00st,post:83,topic:36582"”] this should be a 2 part question… how fast have you gone, and how long did it take you to get there 😛 [/quote] When I did high 150’s in my Mustang I used about 1 mile worth of highway to do so. Up to 140 it felt fine, but after that the lack of aerodynamics became quite obvious and I thought I could lose it at any second…that’s when I let off the gas. I’ve had a few runs in the SHO up to 140…when it was an auto is seemed to take forever. With the manual I was quite suprised that it got there with ease. However, both of my cars aren’t all that fast…I’d really like to take a drive in a car that pulls harrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdd up top. ---

I had my old 9c1 caprice up past 140 down in PA on the thruway it would have keep pulling but stopping distance at those speeds are astronomical! When I had my Firebird I raced a modded f body dont know how fast were got up to but when I glanced down at the speedo (about 4 seconds after I let off the gas) it was still in the 130 range ---

close to 140, scared as shit at that point becuase handling becomes an issue. no idea what’s left in it. also not sure how accurate that is. took for fucking ever to get it up that fast. or so it seemed at the time. i have a pic on my phone i’d post if i could figure out how. nothing special. just 120 in 5th gear ☹ still had 6th. i think i hit 120 in 6th at like 4500 rpms or something like that so i dont think over 140 will happen ---

Took the Expedition up to 100 on the way back from Rochester this morning just to post it in this thread. 🙂 Lots of wind noise when you get a big brick going that fast. Only did it because no one was in front of me for at least a mile. ---
