I had a 79 T/A with a very anemic 403 Olds engine. POS motor. Rated at 180 - maybe on a really good air day in Death Valley. Put headers and a Holley on it - just made it worse I think. Threw the cat over the back fence, etc. - all the standard stuff we did back in the Disco era.

BUT...One evening I received an official "clocking" by the Fort Worth Police Department at 145+ MPH. So a 250+ HP motor might get 150~160, given sufficient room and luck. Now, it took nearly 2 miles to get there but I blew the doors off those two Camaros in the process...

Apparently...Name the place the spanking occurred and we'll see! [img]/forums/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img] AFAIK, the Camaro drivers spent a few hours downtown.

Well, I guess it wasn't you....although the timing is about right. You went 145 on I35......you is (were) crazy son! Oh, and in my (our?) little incident,...I wasn't the driver, well at least not until he got a ride downtown and I had to take his car home. Ahhh, the good old days.

I crossed I35 on I410 at 135 in San Antonio one summer night in the mid eighties.
