In the interest of pleasing JMD I thought I ask:
What's the fastest you've ever had your stang up to?
Personally I'm still finishing mine and have yet to determine, but I don't really think that I want to take it past 120, if even that.

125 m.p.h. at nightin a convertible '85 GT with a 351W with the top down! [sm=lame.gif] It was not one of my brighter moments, but at least I would've only killed myself out in the middle of nowhere heading up Highway 101 on the CA central coast.

BTW, driving that fast with the top down is a bit nuts!

ndnboy

I guess i am a wuss, i have only gottenthe stock 289up to about 85-90 mph, dont have the B*LLS to go much faster....afraid something may go POP and fall off.

I've had Ol' Yeller up to 120 or so on several occasions on the back roads of west Texas.

128 mph racing a Subaru WRX STI. I hit a rough spot in the road and it was a good thing I was 3 lengths ahead of him cuz it threw me into his lane. After that I chickened out and let him pass me.

The 65?....about 110......the BOSS-302 in 1975?.....closer to 160. This was based on rpm X ?mph per 1000 rpm in 4th. The car had 2 875 inline 4's, roller cam/rockers, trans-am rods, balanced, 1970 block (same as trans-am racing block), 1969 double-cross-drilled crank. The car was lowered 2 in in front, 1 in back with stag 2 chassis mods, Linclon front brakes, front disc moved to back, Koni, Traction-Master. Export, Monti-Carlo, frame connectors, 700 lb front-220 rear springs.

Since other folks are posting the fastest they have been in other than Mustangs here goes...1968 Winston-Salum NC...Zake Reynolds and I were in his car on I-40 running a Ferrarri and we topped out at 185 mph.....it was a 1965 427/SC Cobra with a 494 cid Tunnel-Port, Webber carbed engine. VERY scary. But I was 19 and immortal. Zack thought he was but it turned out he wasen't.

you were 3 car lengths ahead of an STI during a race going 128mph? are you sure he was racing you? Those things are wicked fast, I'm having a hard time believing that one...

they have no top end. they are fast because of the awd which robs alot of power through the drivetrain

They still pull like a mother, so unless this race started at a rolling freeway speed, then maybe....but still, I have a hard time believing he could pull 3 cars on him by 128mph.

Not trying to rain on your parade superdave, I've just seen some of those guys at the track and they shut down a lot of decently built cars.
