The fastest I've been is about 120 in my brother's Honda Accord on the
highway between Chattanooga, TN and Birmingham, AL. My brothers and I
left an hour or 2 after one of our uncles yet we beat him there, wonder
how that happened? ;-) If I ever get a Viper plan on taking it out to
Montana where they dropped the speed limit and open it up on one of those
long flat straightaways they have out there, can't wait.
