Oh, you criminal! <G> That's my speed record too, achieved on an Ohio backroad sometime after midnight in the 70's, after viewing the movie "American Graffitti"! '69 Corvette, 327/350 hp. Floated the valves when I forgot to shift to 4th - did the 140 in 3rd gear! Things happen real quick at that speed. Dave Head

Most retail passenger tires will fly apart from centrifugal forces way before then anyway.
