When I was a kid (1987), I had a 1970 Z-28 with a built 350, me and a buddy
once drove from Detroit to Toledo averaging 120mph, hitting speeds around
140+ a couple of times, and I had my 1989 Mustang 5,0 up above 140+ mph a
couple of times. But the fastest I have ever been at the controls of any
vehicle was a King Air 200, we redlined it at 299knots, which works out to
be 343mph! That was a thrill ride!
