And where in the US (other than maybe a private track or open desert) do you
do 190 mph? Lats time I bounced my speedo off the 150 peg in my 70
Roadrunner GTX in the way-out secluded desert (about 1978) I got nailed by a
state trooper and the fine kept me from buying gas for a few weeks. He
clocked me at 162 on radar, freshly cal'd. Nice to have that speed but it
really serves no purpose on the highways.
