Default Re: So.... how fast have you driven on the street?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY</div><div class="ubbcode-body">120 mph on Route 1 Trevose/Pendell in a '71 Nova, 250 straight 6, powerglide and 3.08 gear in an open rear; once, and only once! I think it took about 1.5miles to get up to that speed (partially down hill). The speedo was bouncing all over the place, and the car was light in the front and tough to manage. I pegged it, mission accomplished - never again, drag strip only.... </div></div>

Yep, down the hill past Neshaminy mall or in the other direction past Langhorne speed shop down the hill. We used to take my buds 70 SCJ Torino on the on ramp by Langhorne speed shop and go wot down the hill towards the mall and bury the speedo all the time [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
