Only once, was in my Dad's '76 450SEL 6.9, it was like 3 in the morning and I was on I10 going about 140mph, came up over a rise and there ended up being a cop car in front of me which I promptly came up on like he was standing still!!!!..........Cool thing was I was real cool with the officer and he only wrote the ticket for 20mph over the speed limit, but it was still like a $300 fine......Originally posted by Beagle View Postjust a lawyer when you get caught?

So far I've only had Red up to 110, on the interstate yesterday. It's a stretch where a cop car can't sit, no spider holes for about 3 miles. Somebody in a snob car came blowing by about 90 and got way ahead. No other cars around. What the heck? Seems safe (though stupid, yes) and that other car will get shot first by any cop, so.....
I didn't even downshift, it was a lame attempt. Mashed it in 5th gear and watched the meter go up until it got to 110 and that was about enough. I'm just not interested in getting locked up.
But really, the whole 135 thing may be a moot discussion anyhow. There's no doubt Red will do it, but I don't have data at this point that indicates that he'll do that inside of a mile. I just don't know.Last edited by pdub; December 19, 2011, 10:12 AM.Charter member of the Turd NuggetsComment

Easy enough to figure out pdub... take it to Ohio! If it goes 135, back out.

I believe those are aerodynamically limited to 115 from the factory.Originally posted by peewee View PostYes, I'm a CarJunkie... How many times would YOU rebuild the same engine before getting a crate motor?

Meeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....I don't know about that Tony. I did have it to 110 and it had a whole lot left. A whole lot. It was just moaning in 5th gear, not even nearly screaming. A whole lot left. A lot. A whole lot.Originally posted by Caveman Tony View PostCharter member of the Turd NuggetsComment

The video plays, but it quits. Tried 8 times. Maybe my computer's messed up. Can't get to the end of the video.....Originally posted by studemax View Post
But I get what you're saying Stude, and yeah, I appreciate the honest advice. Yeah, I'm probably having too much fun with the car already. Yep, second or third childhood.
Yep. Thanks Stude. Yep.Charter member of the Turd NuggetsComment

PeWee...
You need to come hange out for a weekend with me....We are going to be at Beach Bend Kentucky this summer, I think it's close to your area, I'll put you and Sue Unit up on the starting line with two Top Alcohol Dragsters leaving full blast! We have a nitro car that pop's and bangs, I'll answer any questions you might have, and you can have a beer while you watch me put this thing back togather.
It will probably run a 5.40 at 250+, but I'll introduce you to anyone you want to meet......you might get a kik out f that.Originally posted by TCComment
