I've had the speedo over 140mph while not moving. Quick way to kill dry rotted tires. I have had the speedo read about 134mph. Not recomended. If I had to guess, I'd say 120mph or so.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

The '97 hashiznit 108...... no, I wasn't driving..... no, we haven't done it more than twice.

Haven't pushed the '85..... will wait for the engine to be up to par before attempting anything like that.

My '84 though, I had at 99 a few times..... had to teach a trucker a lesson. lol

No idea, speedo stops at 85, but I know I was moving faster then that.
Did about 105 in my E-250 on one of my trips to Ohio. Now thats ludicrous. :hick:
