I don't think I'll be testing the top speed on this truck. Speeding way too much is part of the reason I got rid of my GS-R, last time I took it over 100 I had just slowed down when I come around a corner and there's a cop sitting there. If he'd been a few corners earlier they would have busted me doing 138 and I'd be in jail, not a fun thought.

It is pretty damn fun though, until you give it a little brake to slow down and the car starts shaking[sm=badbadbad.gif]

I did 109 miles an hour in my old Neon.

In Canada, and on gravel.

There, I win most stupid.

The worst I ever got busted for was 107 over the limit in a 55 zone back in the 60's with a daul quad twin turboed 425 running on 140 octane avgas. (chasing a hot red head in a ferrari)

Wow. The fastest I've done is 100-105 on I-64 in WV. Me and a buddy were driving a group from PA to southwestern WV for a mission trip and someone realized that if you let the two of us drive at the same time, you'll get to your destination a whole lot faster. We did 100 for about 45 minutes to an hour to make up some time. Honestly, while that seems fast, we were just keeping up with traffic. The guy in the third van was a rookie, though...he couldn't keep up too well.
