Guest rcirilli Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Boy, good question, my experience was in New Jersy. I can't remember the track, only the feelings with the ground six inches below my butt. That would have been something though if I was at the same track as your car.

Guest HeyPop Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 My 65 E-Jag! Funny how with the top down at 120 the broad front bow of the top has a tendency to try to put itself back up when there's no tonneau on it. Also thank goodness for the "oh-[@!#!$]" bar the wife was holding onto. First and last car to do over 100 in. Just one of those things a guy has to do in his life.

Peter Gariepy Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 My first 100mph run was in a 1971 Formula 400 Firebird. My father had "enhanced" it's performance for both straight line and SCCA circletrack racing.It was a stretch of rural Arizona 2 lane road. My father was with me (really) and told me to open it up. I'd have pushed it past 135, but the passenger window popped out of its frame. (No, didnt soil the seat)I bet it had another 10 or 15mph in her.BTW... that wasnt the only "first" in that car. But we'll save that for another post. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6219_Rules Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 First car to do 100+ was my 1969 Olds Cutlass sport heading to the Jersey shore. Last time was in my ex's 2001 Porsche Boxter. I was allowed to take it for a spin while in Dallas, soooo I went out with Jonathan and he said, "Dad, open her up!" About 135 mph easy with plenty more to go.Oh,...I forgot...I got the '47 Caddy up to 95 last summer. The speedo read 102 but its off by about 7 mph so I really can't claim it. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> But it was a steady and smooth 95.

R W Burgess Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Randall, I like that,"my ex let me drive the Porche with my son".

R W Burgess Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 You've got me at a disadvantage here, Dizz. I'll stop while I'm ahead. Of course you realize we're both dead if she ever reads this stuff? Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
