Maxed out @ 115. Handle like it was on rails. Just plain beautiful, and just me myself and I. Plus it wouldn't go over that, kinda ****ed, but oh well.

I remember my parents used to freak if I did anything over 5mph of the limit...made for really long drives.

When you think of Bodacious think of this
When I purchased it, it was a 1969 Plymouth Barracuda with an Aluminum 340
cubic inch V8. When I finished with it, it was a broken 1969 Plymouth
Barracuda with a fiber glass front end and a 440 cubic inch V8, punched out to
454 cubic inches, pushing all most 600 hp.
Info straight from the father.

I held 132 mph (+/-2 mph) for 2 minutes racing a Cheroke on PA Turnpike. I didn't even realize I was going that fast.
Sunroof was open, 15's hittin'. Those were the days.

I was just driving along and he blew by me. Me being the dumba** that I am, I pulled up next to him and just paced him. Sunroof open, 15's hittin' smokeing a cig. When I looked down and saw how fast i was going, i slowed right away.That car is smooth that i didn't even realize.

Speedo said 141 (or about where it would be). A slight downhill helped me to get there, but it was flat when I backed off at 141. Looking back, H-Rated stock tires could have blown at that speed, I got Z-Rated now but I won't do it again.

105 is scary?

Hell, you can do like 96 in third! With the handling mods, 110 isn't scary at all. My car feels nice and grounded.. I'm sure that will get even better once I add the Eibachs.
