Slackers.
Drove 165 in a friend’s Pantera across Alligator Alley from Naples to Ft. Lauderdale in 1972 when it was only a 2-lane.....really thankful The Lord looks out for fools, children, idiots and drunks cause I was a fool that day and one little gator crossing the road - which they frequently did back then - would have nailed me.
Oh, yeah. I’ve been the other 3 in the past too.......
Oh,my bro in Naples drove a new R8 and R10 at those speeds last week at Audi’s invitation - but it was on a closed course track.......
In NJ they used to have a “Corvettes only” Toys for Tots Run in October sponsored by Kerbeck, the Corvette dealer in AC. For about two hours they closed the AC expressway from the last rest stop to AC. It was about 20 miles, essentially straight and four lanes each way. You could go as fast as you wanted...this was the main draw. We were going 166...and people were passing us. Usually there were 800-900 Corvettes participating. The cops who were closing the entry ways would radar you for laughs. They stopped doing it a couple years ago...I guess some LIBs got their panties in a serious wad.
Always wanted a pantera...
had my bone stock 89’ merkur scorpio up tp 155 a few times...felt like 90.... miss that car...dont miss the repair costs....
