I'm well into my 40's (actually,I'm older...I once had a draft card!) and the fastest I've *ever* driven was about 80....and I did it on I-75 in Florida where the limit was either 70 or 75 (can't recall which).As I was doing 80 I was scared silly.So scared,in fact,that I was close to soiling my underwear.

I, too, was the proud owner of a draft card. Was never into the hippie crowd, LOL. My draft number in '72 was 98! Only a 50 year old waitress in a big white Buick and my '45 flathead, kept me from VN. Can't say I'm too disappointed!

Back in '69, I raced a Charger on the Boulder turnpike at a 135 MPH. The next day I put my '65 Chevelle on the rack and found a bubble on the sidewall in the left front the size of a softball. Scared the hell out of me enough I never did it again! That was just to close for my young butt!

Never did out run that friggin' Charger! Heh, heh! He had more balls than I did!

Bingo! There are so many things that happen to even a well maintained car...not to mention on the highway itself..that would cause a bad situation at 70MPH and an incredible tragedy at 100MPH.

In fact...I remember reading a piece in the Wall Street Journal some time ago about the Autobahn in Germany.They talked about the accidents that (frequently) happen on it and quoted a policeman who responds to them saying that the accidents are often so bad that you can’t recognize the victim as being human because they’re so badly mangled.

Considering how bad the aerodynamics were for the charger I imagine a boat on water feeling.
It’s like my truck is more than capable of hitting 120+mph, but my tires are only rated to 90mph so I’ll stick to 70-80 ;-).
