If you want to break the tires loose, and drive 100 mph. wouldn't you be better suited in a Mustang GT?

I've bounced off the speed-limiter (95MPH) racing a Dodge Hemi 1500 shortbed reg-cab...

Darn limiter I was at least close to the guy at about 5 truck lengths behind - kinda weird, being my SD is 7000lbs, and this guy's 1500 had to be 5000 if that.

Empty highway, 265/75R16's.

Be careful of the speed rating - that's for sure.

And keep it shiny side UP

Team Mudd, what gears are you running now? I have 37 in tires and they recommend 4.88s but I dont know if that will give me what I want. I do lots of highway driving so I dont want to go overboard.
