You sir are nuts. When I was in the Navy I did the SAR support for the races in San Diego... Bottom line: speed on water > speed on land. Crazy.

95 Toycoma = 118 -3.4 v6 - 4th gear, would pull 5th.
86 Mustang = 105 -2.3 (pre 5.0 swap)
79 XR500 = 91 -500cc
etc.etc..
The only ones that felt 'safe' were the Z28 and ZR2
the Tacoma was bouncing like a .... boat? ? ?
The Camaro felt fine at 155, could have done more... ran out of room.
All performed on a closed course...of course.

But who's counting right?
If I were ever to drive my 97 stepside over the speed limit on the many weekend road trips from San Diego to home... I would possibly, maybe have gone around 130... Now what would be really dumb is driving 80-90 and sometimes 100 comming out of the mountains west of SD on I-8. It would only take one close call to realize how stupid that would be... You know, if anyone were to try it.
