Say what??

My street Porsche has its to speed limited to 178MPH by the factory.
Do you think anything is safe at that speed short of a fully caged racecar??

I'm a Porsche certified High Performance driving instructor and have my fair share of experience driving at triple digits, all on the race course BTW and I'm here to tell you that you are wrong, dead wrong...

I once had a student who was able to convince the organization I was instructing for to run his Dodge SRT-10 pick up that had been modded to put out over 600 HP and somehow I was "elected" to instruct him. We were able to hit 140 on the back stretch at VIR but almost crashed because he couldn't slow the truck down enough to make the corner.
By the time we've done a few laps his tires and brakes were totally shot.

That was the first and last time that i'll ever let anybody talk me into doing something that stupid again.

Don't get me wrong I love my trucks but they are not designed and built for flying down the highway.

 

I did see when that guy in truck decide change lanes so he turn to other lane too fast I could see top rack shift left side while truck moving right side.

It was very strong side wind that I need hold steering wheel tight to stay straight.

It have bad wriggle when it hit pothole it like Uncle Buck's car that have no shock. It drop like 1 foot down when hit pothole then bounce for like 4-5 times then it stop bounce.

Well I was test our F250 last time I will do. Notice when it pass 95 mph it cut down like engine slow down but rpm was 4,000. I rather cruise 80 mph or less for 01 f250 crew cab long bed 4x4 with v10.

 

Can someone dig up that pic of the super duty that hit the horse that was posted here a while back for V-10? The super dutys do not stand up well to animal impacts.

 

I found it, do a search for "when horse meets super duty" and click on the link. He was probably going a lot les than 90 mph, not for weak stomachs.

 

You'll find that there are lots of company vehicles that are mistreated. The driver doesn't have to pay for the vehicle or repairs, so they just don't care. And to them, safety is less important than getting where they're going.

You should look into what's causing your wiggle. When was the last time you changed the shocks in your truck?

Off topic: Does that mean sign language does not have the same grammar rules spoken English does? I've never talked to anyone who knew sign language.

 

That's kind of like speaking spanish, just not backwards.

 

People who sign are usually deaf. If you cannot hear, you cannot sound out words / correct grammar.

Think about how F'd up the English language is, Now imagine you can't hear

 

I run my super duty van at 90 towing and hauling.

I leave 10-12 secs from the car ahead and watch for cops.

I sure don't do it with an uneven load like in the pic though...

I loose 2 mpgs and have gotten one ticket that way, but the made up time is worth it.

 

Well since were kind of on the topic of top speeds... I did 112mph on gps last week when a was trying out my new tuner , didn't take that long to get there either which i was surpised.

 

Compared to WHAT? A bulldozer?

On the subject of grammar, from what I can tell, sign language is a much more compact syntax than standard spoken English. There doesn't seem to anything like "the", or a bunch of other words that we take for granted.

If a signer needs to say something that there is no direct sign for, they spell it out with the alphabet.

There isn't anything Milwaukee1979F150 says that I can't understand. It just takes a few reads to figure it out.

 

I have bounced my 105 limiter in my E350 3 times.

 

Thank if you don't understand just ask me I would try make clear.

For hit thing. I have see worst. Superduty wouldn't hold that impact at 90 mph until you lucky.

 

the "too heavy to run fast" made me think of my great uncle who we used to pilotcar for. he ran a kenworth and loaded with a 966 cat loader he had us get out from infront of him because we were limited to about 95mph..he was running about 105mph or so and our little ranger at the time could not keep up haha

my excursion is very stable at 92mph(when the limiter kicks in) i've only found it because it can creep up on you without knowing it.

 

I agree, for the size and weight of the horse that truck held up pretty well.

 

Here's a friendly warning to all you speed runners. On the '08 and newer trucks there is a black box that will give info to Ford and I assume Law Enforcement about vehicle dynamics at the moment of impact. Things like seat belt compliance, throttle position, vehicle speed, etc...

Tough subject but if any of you hit my wife and kids going 95 MPH I'm going to come after you with everything I got.
