about 140-150 on bigelow blvd. i ran outta gear. when i slowed the car down the brakes were smoking and i had to put the ebrake on to hold the car at the traffic light. it was against a ferrari that thought a big hunk of 70’s metal couldn’t stay with him. i started to get tunnel vision and got nervous as fuck g-bodies…they only go 85mph 😃 ---

I was never really interested in top speed. I was more interested in how fast I could get to X speed. That being said, I’ve probably done 125 in the 1G, and about 115 in the 2G back in the day. I drove 90MPH the whole way home from Delaware in the Miata 💤 ---
