Back around 1974 carpooling to the local community college about 25 miles from home,riding with a buddy on friday coming home from school,two lane road,staight and flat for 7 miles,decides to "get the cobwebs out of the carb",1969 Mustang Mach I,351-C,highly modified,doing around 60,drops it in third (toploader),nails it,shifts to forth around 6500rpms,holds it to the floor,looks over to me as says "watch this",starts moving the steering wheel back and forth 1/4 turn each way,cars stays straight,front wheels were barely touching the road,speedometer not connected,I have since calculated we were doing somewhere around 135mph.... When he finally slowed down,I told him I would find another carpool to ride with on fridays.....

I have hit around 120mph in my Mustang on a couple of occasions on deserted roads,do not do it anymore........

Have hit 125mph on a couple of race tracks doing open track events,now I keep my high speed jaunts strictly to race tracks,knowing I can do it is enough for me on the street........
