you were 3 car lengths ahead of an STI during a race going 128mph? are you sure he was racing you? 
Those things are wicked fast, I'm having a hard time believing that one...

128 mph racing a Subaru WRX STI. I hit a rough spot in the road and it was a good thing I was 3 lengths ahead of him cuz it threw me into his lane. After that I chickened out and let him pass me.

. Those things definetly pick-up though, but I'd take my stang over that any day. Also, 135mph in my brothers F-150 (4.6L w/performance chip, CAI, and dual Flowmasters).

I guess i am a wuss, i have only gotten the stock 289 up to about 85-90 mph, dont have the B*LLS to go much faster....afraid something may go POP and fall off.

65-70 mph is the speed I like most.

85-90 mph is about as fast as I've gone as well, I'm just not the speedster type.

1965- 110ish
1990- 125
2005- 130
It's funny how the 2005 feels safer at 130 than the 1965 feels at 85mph.
It's also crazy how the 1990 feels fine at 120, but take it up to 125 and you'd think it was going to grow wings and fly up in the air because the back in is way too light.
