" Barry Landis was doing 109 mph when the radar detector on the dash of his '97 Dodge Avenger started to beep and blink. That's when he saw the police cruiser. "

I dare say Barry need a new radar detector.

BTW, I first hit 110 mph in a 1970 Buick LeSabre (351 V8) back in 1976. You don't need a 280-Z or a Stang.

Really my 97 Dodge Dakota 4WD is good for that when the speed limiter is disabled! I don't make it a practice however.

Keep in mind I was a mild-mannered YOUNG woman...and I was mighty proud of my 280-Z. My Big Guy's 65 Corvette Stingray had some goshawful engine in it that could have lifted a light plane. 427 or something like that. He hit 135 a couple of times...without me! Of course, back in the "olden days" we didn't even think about seatbelts! Amazing some of us are still alive! (But...once again...it was so d@#&ed much fun!)

Try the '56 Ford I used for my first 100+; or the '48 Hudson Hornet that I cruised down NoCalif pre I-5, for over 50 miles at 90.

Even had my '65 Squareback VW to nearly 140 on a down hill stretch a couple of times. Don't ask.{G}

Problem today, though, is too many "aimers" on the road, rather than drivers. No telling what they'll do, when, or why. I don't *not* drive fast now, not because of getting older & wiser'; just a LOT less opportunity to do it SAFELY.
