QUOTE(vertigo @ May 3 2006, 09:53 AM)  145 in '71 Dodge Charger r/t, fornt end got light at 130 (still had a bit left but was kinda scary) 155 in 86 Porsche 928 In my Purple '71 Charger r/t 440 Mag I had the speedo bouncing off the peg indicating 150 (valves were floating so it wasn't going any faster). I agree the front end started getting light over 130. I thought I was only steering because the front tires acted like a rudder to the wind that was going UNDER them... 135+ (legally) in a C-200 Merc in Germany. Had my wife and daughter with me but my wife wouldn't look at the speedo. My daughter loved it (she lives over there). |
