Well, you all may dought me on this but it is on DVD..
I drag race a 67 Camaro and that et's at 150 but on the road in my 06 Mustang I did what I dought has been done by too many others......

Ive entered the Cannonball Europe twice now in 07 and 08. This, for those who dont know is a high speed race across Europe, much like the race across the USA. In 2007 I reached 145mph with about 380hp and as Linerjoe said, a flapping hood. Scary...

In 08 I had fitted a Saleen Supercharger and Steeda cowl hood and hood pins. (530hp) I max it out in Spain with a Lamboghini Merchalago chasing me. videoing it. My GPS and his speedo said 191mph... !!! True.

For those non believers, go out and buy the dvd. Its on there as proof...

By the way.. I finished 2nd in 07 and 3rd in 08. Not to bad. All I need is the big one this year...

Here's some random information, did you guys know that the 26' uhauls only top out at 75mph? But after 1200 miles and 4 days when you get back in a Hemi it feels like a sportscar!

I went carting the other month Hoss356. The first time in years.
When I'd finished, about one hour track time it's all the old body can take these days ha ha ha, I jumped in the Hemi to go home.
Jeeeeez.................I tried to take the corner and thought the Hemi was going to roll over and I also thought I couldn't go around it.
I had to input so much lock into the steering wheel on the Hemi, it was unbelieveable. A quick flick on the carts wheel, had me doing right angles .
Plus the power steering on the truck freeked me out LOL.
Oh yes.............115mph in the truck and the limiter stopped it going more.
It was safe to do this speed as I wasn't on public roads in a "controlled" environment.

Al.
