heybro not to bust *****, but you know what happens when a fullsize ram hits something at 120 mph, or even gets away from you. i can tell you that it wont spin out like a vette. let us know how many rolls it does.[sm=GrowUp.gif][sm=badidea.gif]

Yea it may roll if i lose it, but i would still kill a vette in a race [sm=goodidea.gif]

With a 95 full size truck with a 5.2L? I don't think so. Maybe kill the vette, yourself and some others.
I've had mine at 90 but I can't imagine doing 120, especially if it were a higher sitting 4x4.

Planning on going to Germany and hit the autobon, because I think thats a little excessive for US highways. Let me know where ya live so I can read about your gruesome death.

Pana, Illinois... Screw the autobon...all i need is a 2 lane highway and a tank of gas.

Ya know... it was a while back, But i remember 120 the limiter kicking in, but at 115, it drove so nice.. It was out 80 in pa. I was heading home late at night. The highway was just wide open with nobody around, so i figured id see what she could do. I was impressed. It drove smooth, didnt wander at all, just cruised right up there.. Than i went back down to around 85 or so. Couldnt afford a ticket doin 120 lol.

well here where i live...you head south out of town, and in about a mile you reach the county line on the top of a hill. and its a straight highway for 8 miles, with only 3 roads that intersect it, the police never watch this area because of the county line, and there is rarely a state cop around because of the rual area. Nobody really cares if u speed around here. Plus if a cop radars you at 120, you are gone before he even pulls out to chase you. I did this twice in my old truck...which happend to be a modified 1985 ram D250 5.9 4bbl...i never topped that out, but i had it at 130...Thats flying for a 21 year old truck...never cought me, sadly the old truck is sitting without a tranny in my back yard right now...

All kidding aside.
You are an idiot.

So is anyone else that goes that fast in a vehicle not designed for it. Please let me know if you ever move to Georgia so that we can move.

If you passed a cop around here at 120 they'd be on your *** in a hemi charger or new Mustang.

i dont know what kind of vettes they brew by you but i doubt it.

you want to go fast buy a bike ( 2002 GSXR 1000) shot of NOS
that will put you around 185MPH.
P.S. .... and here - the cops come after you even at those speeds
