Default Fastest in your dakota

What is the fastest you have everhad your dakota up to????? I have had mine to 112 and it was still climbing. i have a GPS so that is how i know, speedo only goes to 110. I was racing my buddys 99 trans am(not really a race) and had it up to 110 with 5 people and a full tank of gas. Not too bad for a v6 truck.

I think the highest I've had mine was around 100 or 105.

Way beyond the 110mph mark when I had the 3.9. Only because I was in the Pennsylvania mountains and two semis came up on me doing 90+ downhill.


Now, I don't really have a speedometer with the 360, but it has gotten quickly over 100mph a few times.

110 on generally unpatrolled highway near the state line. Physically the truck would go faster, but I'm a wuss.
And I miss hills, too... One of these days I'm taking my truck to West Virginia to go play on some back roads.

Had mine (a 96 clubcab, 3.9L, 5-speed stick) at around 130-140mph on a road trip at night on I-40 going to Arkansas from Cincinnati. I was following a friend in a GrandAm GT and was able to stay up with her.
