At least, that you'll admit to.  :icon_smile_big:

Oh and me?  Not sure.  The 150 mph speedo is a little too limited   :2thumbs:

144 mph. I still have the ticket also. $1100.00... bail was $350.00  Man those were the times. Cop wrote me up for wreckless driving only. I was racing a new Iroc Camaro, did I win, pretty much....Chevy gave up after 130 mph. Wife has ticket in lock box, she says, I won't ever do that again......hahaha

The fastest I've ever gone in any car was about 125, and it was in a Marquis. That car didn't look like much, but it ran suprisingly well. I'd set the cruise control at 95 going from Alpine, TX to Laredo, TX (about 380 miles).

Thinking back... it was pretty stupid cuz all four of my tires were so worn the metal was coming through them (radials). Ahhh, youth.  :yesnod:


I will be going faster then that once I get my charger complete.

I will only go the speed limit in my car.  To do otherwise would be illegal and put other peoples lives at risk. :angel: :angel:

A trooper said I was going 106 in my charger... :-\ :-\

I bet I coulda got more...  ;) ;)

73 318 2bbl  Charger 120+ mph speedo pegged. Good  guess, 130 when I lift. Open 4 lane road no traffic. Stupid yes,  fun yes!

87 Turbo Lebaron Coupe 125+ Guess around 128-130mph! That car would suprise a few T/A's and Z's. GT's not so much.

105mph in my current Charger.  That's how fast it gets to at the end of the drag strip.  However, in 1968 I remember pegging the 150mph speedo in my new R/T.  There are many that say a 440 couldn't do that, but it did.  It had 323's in the rear with stock F-70x14's.  I'm sure the accuracy of the speedometer would be at question, but I would think it still was doing 140 or so.  Glad one of those tires didn't let go.  Bob

Had my '66 up to around 120 miles per hour on an Interstate. The 383 had more to give, but the car felt like it was starting to lift off the ground after 90mph (probably why they put spoilers on them in the NASCAR days) which made things a bit too exciting. That and the car has power steering, making lane changes possible by moving the steering wheel just a fraction of an inch.
After doing the math I realized how stupid I was. At the rate of speed I was going it would have taken roughly three seconds of travel with the steering wheel off center to transform me into one of those white crosses on the side of the road.
Sixty-eights look great and the '69 is fine.
But before the General Lee there was me - Headrope.

In my 1st charger I buried the 150 speedo a couple times. Fun stuff but I wouldn't recomend it. But in my current one I think I've done 130ish. Only a 120mph speedo.

Did 130+ around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. ( got to drive around it for a show and they were a little more relaxed back in 1982 than they are now :-) ). would have been faster but had a fuel flow problem.

90+/- unrestored, no interior, just driver seat. Very loud inside the Charger and what went through my mind was that I have too much responsibilities to go beyond that and the possibilities that I could really spoil someones life! I got off her, took her home and started the dismantling work for full restoration! :yesnod:

It's hard to say because my speedometer is off quite a bit, but I believe my fastest in my Charger to be somewhere around 95-105.  I really need disc brakes and some suspension upgrades though.  It didn't feel as stable as my old 73 Satellite did.  That thing felt good at 125+ :yesnod:
