How fast have you gone?

[Galactic_eyes]

140mph in a

[Skligmund]

I've also done greater than 100 MPH in a 1985 Chevy 4X4 Truck with a simple 350 in it. My foot was at 3/4 throttle, so I'd imagine it would go faster, but I don't have a tach on it, so I didn't know my RPM's, and I don't care much for floating the valves.

I also have done speeds in excess of 100 MPH on a snowmachine, that is fun. I live for riding in the powder though.

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.).

Thats why you hsould get a MOPAR or a Ford..... They handle so much better, you would have the courage to go much faster.

As for me, 170ish MPH in a 1967 Chrysler New Yorker 4-door sedan. I was a little busy blowing by a GTO to get a more accurate reading off of my speedo. This car is identical to the on I was driving (my fathers......).

Our Sheriff's Office participates in DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) and we happen to have a 1973 blown New Yorker - 406 cubic inches. Apparently tops off at around 600 HP and enough torque to rip the car in half. We have a nice drag race on Sunday, lets see how it does.

Thats interesting, snowmobiles modified for racing only do about 80.

The worlds fastest record on a snowmobile was 130.38 MPH on a HEAVILY modified sled.

In other words, unless this is a drag only snowmobile........

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

[Felix/FFDS]

160kph in a Rover - Ferrol to Santiago ..  scared the  out of me to realize I was passing most cars (but the big Alfas blew past me, though)

[Pinchaser...]

MMMMMM. I will be the first to tell you NEVER trust a snowmachine's speedometer. However, March of 02, there was the annual Family Fun Day in Ninilchik/Caribou Hill with the Caribou Hills Cabin Hoppers club. There, we had drag races with mostly-stock sleds (nothing WAY modified, just tuned, piped and 100LL at the most). For this, we aquired a radar gun for speeds, since there was no real track, we had to make our own on a swamp. My 1997 700 RMK only did about 72 MPH, but it has one heck of a holeshot and bottom accelleration. Basicly it got to 70 real quick, but went no faster (Mountain Climbing, not speed). Then I got the chance to ride my buddy's 1995 RXL 650, which was geared for high speed and was piped ect. I turned 104 MPH. I wasn't the fastest, but I know I was up there. I didn't do it in the 1/8 mile track we made, I used the whole swamp and they clocked me as I went by.

I'm talking not about the speedometer, I'm talking about being clocked by a helicopter.

110 in a Porsche 928 on the Maine Turnpike.

Scott.... Tsk tsk..... If my memory serves me right, that turnpike has some nasty spots.

[Rivers]

118Mph (190Km/h) with my 1.6L fiat Palio

Again, how about clocked with a correctly calibrated ground gun?

[BMan1113VR]

was doing some research and it appears that the R/T Hemi challenger's  (not charger) top speed is only 146 mph. . .so i can't imagine a stock charger going that fast (especially with the stock gear ratios)
