99' SS Camaro 155mph+ and all alone on the Kansas Turnpike one time when new. Car & Driver had just tested one, and claimed 162mph?? The car handled worse (kind of floaty), than my Hemi Challenger at speed, so I backed off early. Numerous rice bikes much faster but always with eyes glued to the road.
This is the kicker, the wife who actually drove the SS Camaro everyday, maxed it out racing a car on a deserted stretch of I-55 between Memphis and Cape Girardeau. About a month later, she points out a car on the street, and says "that's the car that I couldn't outrun". The car was a 98'-99' Viper GTS.

Hey Steve,

You always said that your wife was a fast one, but I thought you meant something else!

My personal experience: Shortly after I purchased the Hurst, a buddy (also known as my landlord) and I spent an afternoon tuning on it. After doing a wicked 200 ft burnout that was digging up asphalt , he said,"Lets see what this car will really do!" As stated, speedos get real inaccurate at higher speeds, but the speedo was showing over 120 when I looked down after seeing a puff of dust come up off the road (thought it might have been oil smoke so I let out quick!) I have to admit, it can get kind of scary when 4000 lbs is floating around the road!
