How Fast...

I searched and I could not find any thing.

How fast have your driven your SS/SC?

Yesterday, I wanted to see how fast I could go, to the point of being scared, plus I needed to get off the next exit.. In a blink of an eye, I was doing 130+ MPH, I have not driven that fast since my Camaro. It was pretty cool and scary at the same time. Not going to do that any time soon either.

130mph! Stay off the roads speed demon. Hopefully you won't go that fast ever again.

The fastest I ever went was 100 mph when I ran my quarter mile at a dragstrip.

115, back roads by my house.

Then I thought about what a dear would do to my car (not to mention what my wife would do to me).

240km/h and then my exit was coming up. It felt like I was only going 150ish, very smooth and solid ride. Impressive for a sport compact car.

same here... and even the slightest bend in the road makes you wrestle the steering wheel.

145mph on Vermont Route 22A between Vergennes and Addison Four Corners at 2:30am... the scary part about the car was the fact that it was incredibly stable at speed. Also, the engine felt like there was gobs more left. Weird... I had an 84 Capri RS 5.0L and 140mph, it felt like that was pretty much it. This car with half the engine of that Fox body had it way over that V8. Weird.
