>>Well, at least he died happy.<<
That’s what I was thinking.
Meanwhile, I’ve had my Chrysler 300m at over 130 in Montana. It is amazing how tight those “gradual” turns feel at that speed.
I drove a GMC Syclone 125 mph for two laps around Rockingham once....then they saw me and I took off.
Honestly, it felt like the truck was glued to the track and everything was slow motion, since the track is much wider than a lane on the freeway.
I remember once I was taking my Mazda 323 from Flint, Michigan to Detroit Metro Airport. I was in a real hurry, so I had the thing floored. The speedo needle was pegged at 95, but I was well past that.
I got to a fork where the Interstate divides in a very gradual turn. I nearly wound up molded into a bridge abutment, the thing came up so fast. I had driven that road a hundred times before, and things are just different when you double the speed.
A 300 hemi ?
Rumor has it that limiters will not let a 300 go above 130.
Did it have any thing left at 130?
