Jeff, uhmmm, with a license plate for an avatar, um, maybe you meant to say 70 mph?gwoods wrote:I went a speedometer indicated 140 mph today on the way back from Long Beach with two 300lb guys + luggage in the car
Given enough highway, yes. I have seen 135, and my hands were too sweaty, and I was a little too scared to take it faster. If the highway was straight, I would have considered it, but with the turn that was ahead of me, that was faster than I wanted to try it out.gwoods wrote:
Do these cars even go that fast?
Weenie. Back in the day I did 133 in my '79 Celica with bias-ply tires (18 and stupid). Only way I knew how fast I was going was due to following a buddy in his vette. I tend to stay <10mph over the speed limit now unless I go on a track.Beancooker wrote:
