In my younger daze, I had a '66 Corvette 327/350hp. One Sunday morning my brother and I were on our way to 'church' when he asked "what'll it do?" The car was about 3 months old and we decided it was broken in so I nailed it. We were on I-190 near Buffalo and I could only see one car up ahead. The speedo reached 140 mph and stayed there. We flew by that car, a Rambler, and I had to look in the rear view mirror to make sure he wasn't spinning around like you see in the cartoons. LOL
I also had my '73 911E up to 135 a couple of times.
I doubt I'll try to see how fast the Cobra is.
I don't try to wring 'em out anymore. Sometimes I wonder how I made it through my youth.
