Today, one of my buddies sitting next to me got a call from the local fire
department (volunteer fire department), so he asked me to drive him. We just
missed the fire truck so I had to drive him to the fire (25Km away). I was
surprised at how quick I can get up to a good speed (so was he). We were
cruising down the highway going about 150-160KM/h, when I had to pass
somebody, I floored it and when I looked down again I was going about
173kn/h (110MPH). The governor had not slowed me down yet, I had to slow
down because of a corner, also at 170km/h I was only going about 3000rpm! I
thought that the 2WD Dakotas were limited to 110mph max (R/T), but mine is a
4X4 with the wheel & handling package, the truck was really twitchy at that
speed though. When I got out my tires were about 20 degrees Celsius (room
temperature). I was going that fast, I was catching the Ambulance that I was
following! Man are these 4.7's fast!
