About 85 on I25 bringing the pickup back to school. These things are definitely not stable after about 50mph. I am always amazed that people want to take them up to or over 100mph, what's the point?
Fastest I've gone is over 120mph. Don't know the actual speed because the speedometer was way off (read 90 around 120 mph) in a '71 Camaro. I've gotten my Monte up to it's limiter at 113 often enough and it's still plenty planted, same with the Porsche. I like cars because they're stable and fun, I like pickups because they can take abuse and are fun in the right situation.

about 95 in my 88 F150 with 35's... Fun ride.
Back when I had my 97 Ranger a few of us hummm ahhh tried to make it to the end of the freeway before the other....
I won at 115 or so..... The next night there was a cop waiting to see if we would do it once more. None of us ever did that after that one night.

I know. I remember when I worked in LA and lived in Texas. When the day was done I wanted to be home. I ran the crap out of my truck. 80 miles an hour or more. My truck felt very stable.. I thought so, anyway. It could be an illusion you know?

My 1989 F150 2wd 300 Straight 6, C6 3 speed, 3.55 tops out at 150km/h (95mph). Engine hits the rev limiter.
My 1990 F250 4x4 5 speed 7.3 Diesel (non turbo) 4.10 tops out at 130km/h (75mph), engine hitting the governor, (3300RPM).
1987 E350 Diesel motorhome, C6 3.54 same thing, 75mph. Takes a longgggg time to get there though.....
