    160 a couple of times, many years ago in my first '77 GTB. Just over redline in 5th. Took about 3 miles to get there. Level ground, cool Florida mornings both times (yeah, I know "cool Florida" sounds like an oxymoron)

    72 MPH but I was caught up with the flow of traffic otherwise I would have stayed in the speed limit.

    328 - 145 indicated out in the AZ desert for about 10 miles, but who knows how fast we were really going? I was afraid to go faster for fear of the law. Yeah, I know, doesn't make any sense but somehow 145 or thereabouts seemed easier to explain than 150+ Hey, I was younger then...it was almost two years ago. :)

    Ask Dave to do a thorough inspection of your suspension. If you're planning high speeds you want the car to be predictable. All the rubber bits are very old on these cars.

    135 in my mondial t..... And I learned when you get stopped, and the cop asks you if you know why he has you pulled over. "Because I let you" isn't the right answer.

    at 140 I wouldn't trust "should" that is why I suggested he have the shop give it a good look over.

    Aint Oxygen great?!

    Not sure we could get those speeds if it were pushed off a 14K ft mountain here! Surely not with the non flammable rabbit pee we have for fuel now!

    160 is as high as I have been........................................in km that is. Slightly over 100 mph. Anything more and the car feels like its going to take off. Probably time to renew the suspension.

    Ever wonder why all the Ricers blow by you when your speedo says 85? Including Grandpa's old '67 Continental? Why your car is doing 10mph while parked?

    Always remember - What the Ferrari Speedo says aint what the Lidar unit says. I also dont trust the GPS - better, but still off.
