Of course it doesn't hurt that the spee

dometer is about 50 MPH fast!

Downhill all the way?

Amazing gearing in your transmission as well. Hitting that speed at 750 RPM.

Windows up?

Noticed the same!! That OD sure works well.

 

[AngliaGT]

Yeah - tach works almost as good as the speedo.

If it was between Richmond and Norfolk, it must have been a slow day for traffic. 64 always seems to have traffic on it around the weekends, especially as the weather gets warmer.

 

[AngliaGT]

It was in West Virginia.

I could do that speed too. Only need to find someone with an airplane to take me up and toss the car out, assuming that counts...

"It's not the velocity, but that sudden stop at the end!"

There a tv commercial about that (somewhere).

Yea I remember that from years ago, this thread reminded me of that when talking how fast.

And a "MacGyver" episode where they'd hijacked the scenes of the car under a 'chute and edited in scenes of Mac and a woman supposedly riding it down.
