I’ve gone 130 or so in my sbc astro van. I rigged the 1978 Camaro Z28 speedo(130mph)into the dash. Dunno if it was off much. I was racing a friend in his FireBird GTA. He killed me up to 80, then I got up to a car behind, and we just stayed in it like fools. My rigged Z28 speedo was bouncing off the end of the range, my buddy said we were going 130 or better.
It took quiet ahile to get up there with the 2.78 gears but, I got up there. One of the more retarded things I did when I was a teenager. I still cant believe how stable that van was at that speed though. It had 8" wide tires on the front, and 10" wide on the back, it sat a bit lower than most Astro vans…If I had to make a curve though…I would have been done though.
Funnier yet, I dont like taking my GP much over 90 these days on the roads/highways. I think after my accident it kinda lets you know how fast shit goes from, "woah, this is cool and scary, to OMG…uuughhhh w…t…F happened, why am I in this yard, why is there an ambulance…whos that other person the stretcher…yeah it sucks.
