Well, I have a 30 mile commute (one way) and about 15 miles of it is rural West Texas open highway. TX DPS is out there on very rare occasions and I have one beautiful stretch of highway which is perfect for letting the ponies run. I drive a stock Black LT with 19 inch tires.
I decided to test my commuter's stuff so I topped a curving hill, saw open road leading to the West and let it run wide open. I was headed slighty uphill (which makes me wonder how fast I could go on a level strip) and got it up to 120mph the first time. A couple of days later, I topped the hill, saw open road and stabbed the spurs. I got up to 125.
The thing is that both times I let off the gas, the RPMs were STILL climbing and I know it was still pulling through 6th with more to go. Remember, I was on a slight incline with space between the petal and the metal and the RPMS were still inching up. Also, I was at about 3/4 of a tank, at about 98 degrees F and no wind. I did get the sense that a rear spoiler will help keep the rear end down though I wasnt bouncing around, swerving or anything like that. I just know the spoiler will be a plus.
Black Beauty, blah, It's a Beast.
