    However fast my 88 mustang GT could go redlined in top gear... Actually did it for extended stretches driving through Texas one summer going to South Padre for the fourth of July. Normally the trip would take 9 1/2 - 10 hours and I think we made it little over 6 hours that one time. Was incredibly dumb in hindsight, but I was a pretty stupid kid. :)

    I've done 120mph sitting on the roof of a Ford Granada. Out the sunroof, sit down, hold really, really tight, pray the driver didn't make any mistakes and hope to live through the experience. I was a lot younger then. Wouldn't do it now - too many nutters on the road. :cool:

    It was a 2.5 - 3 mile mostly straight bit of road. Bit bumpy in places mind you.

    142 MPH in a 2005 C5 Corvette. Smooth as glass with plenty of room for more.
