The fastest i've driven is 105mph in my little Ford Escort.

I was with my brother when he got his Honda Prelude up to 110 mph

130 Down a busy, crowded road. Do that every now and then, depending on the calls I get in my shift. (Only do this for hot calls, like domestics involving injury, shots fired, officer down, ect.)

140 on the highways.

192mph in a stock (except for the steering and suspension) Hemi Dodge Charger (425hp @ 5,000RPM). I love Mopars ;D

must have been one hell of a stock charger (thought they had problems above 155)

I never experienced any troubles except on an oval track. The Charger was a lovely car for a drag strip though and could push 200 if conditions were right (i.e. no headwind, not to hot or cold etc.).

I sincerely doubt a stock Charger, even if it did have a Hemi, would get anywhere near 200 mph...  ::)

I've driven several Mopars from that Era and I sincerely doubt that New Yorker did 170 either...

Have you ever driven a 426 Hemi Charger though? You seriously underestimate the capabilities of that car!

Look, it's a simple question of weight ratios!  A 2 oz bird cannot carry a 12 oz coconut!  End of story!  :)

But a 0.004gram ant can lift a 0.1 gram leaf ;D ;D

Look, if you have never driven a 426 Hemi Charger on a drag strip then you have no way to say that I could not do it! Did it ever occur to you that I coud be a much better driver than you are? ;)
