120mph speedo-really??

posted by  someone claiming to be David Wein on  Sun Feb 3 05:57 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I like the Rocky Mountain NP idea. Of course, you would likely launch off of 2000' foot ledge once you hit a hairpin going > 45. The key to reaching 120 would be aiming the car nose down as to minimize wind resistance as you plunge to the earth :-)

I like the 120 mph speedo as compared to older 85 mph speedo. My friend and I set a Boulder to Omaha land speed record several years ago in an 82 GL with around 200K miles (broken odometer). We had the speedo needle pinned to the peg the entire time.
