No pictures, but. When I got my first car (it was a '94 Saturn SC2) I took it out in the middle of nowhere to see what it could do. I got it up to just under 120 when off a sideroad came this sheriff in a brand new Camaro doing about 150. He pulled me over got out of his car laughing his butt off. I figured he'd seen my special permit and thought- "What a shame, only had it for 15 days and now I get to take his license."
He walked over to my car and said. "You are so lucky I am nowhere near my jurisdiction."
He was out there doing the same thing in his nice new cop car.
i could tell a few stories - but i don't want my parents to find out... ;} i don't have any pictures to back them up with anyhow...
i did get a chevy corsica to 90mph on a bumpy windy rural road - posted at 25mph. later that same race my buddy rolled his bosses new truck. too top heavy for the windy roads - but no injuries.
i also go that car to around 125mph - couldn't say for sure because the gauge maxed at 85mph - but i passed my buddy - with ease - whose nissan was tapped at 115mph. i was in the breakdown lane of route9 S in CT.

A Dodge Dakota? What...are you going down a very steep mountain?! LOL!
Let's see...breaking the law (I'm assuming this is not the Autobahn), photographing instead of keeping your eyes on the road, doing all this at night, AND low on washer fluid. "But officer, I didn't mean to!"

Heh i was actually getting ready to hit an incline. Dakota will Peg the speedo as long as the front end isnt severly out of alignment or your having power issues.
3.7 Powertech Crate has 230 hp. Id rather had the older 5.9 R/T but a v8 replacement wasnt an option.
It's not safe to drive this fast when your car is low on washer fluid. :)
i know.. my god... how stupid some people can be! What if you hit a dragonfly at 100+mph, you couldn't clean it, your vision would be impared and you'd crash.. Always remember to top up your washerfluid when breaking the law people..
I used to have a Datsun 240Z that I did some work on. OK, a lot of work. It was stupid fast.
I still have this
No pics of going fast ;-)
Nice one. Looks like it's in good shape.
Mine was a 240Z, though I had the block from a 280 and the head from a 260 under the hood with a 2.5" exhaust. The triple carb setup was fun, but only got about 12mpg.
We actually hit about 240, but that one turned out kinda blurry.
So... that check engine light is just cause it's freaking at been redlined or were you trying to grenade the engine? :-)) Love the pic and besides, those washer lights are for wimps :-)
Okay, it's not over 100 (I'm "only" going 75) ... but I am in 'The Zone'! ;-)
I've a few day shots from over the years with the speedo burried, but they're uber boring photographically.
And here's another ... a test shot to dial in the setup in my new car (the above was in a wagon, thus easier to achieve). Look forward to finally getting solid results in the M3.
