On the eastern part of Germany, on a highway (autobahn) with very light traffic, I drove between 125mph and 160 mph during half an hour, telling myself: "on this portion of the road, I shall not let the spedometer go under 125." This was the end of a long day (I had been on the road during 10 hours) , the sunset was beautiful but I put my headlight on so that drivers on the right lane could spot me more easily because the only thing I was sorrying a bit was a car switching from his right lane to my left lane without warning.
This was great but the fuel gauge decreased quickly.
I have a 2.88 rear end and a big block 482cu.in.
