Well, with this truck of course. Freeway, 1.30 am, no radar ( I hope) and Full throttle........ yes man ! :burnout:
 
this might be a stupid question...but is there speed laws in Italy? or is it similar to the autobahn?

sounds like FUN!!! just be careful

I'm guessing there are since he mentioned "Radar".
 
The autobahn's have speed limits on them as well. The majority of it you can go as fast as you want, but there are many areas that are limited. I know this because I got pulled over by the polizei on my way to a car show. :(
 
So how's the truck feel at a buck-fifty?

I've only managed 125 or so with mine. (On a closed course, of course.;) :D )
 
Not that I have ever driven my SRT 140 + MPH :p ... but would think it would feel great on a smooth highway and would get scary pretty quick on the expansion joints.. It great that these pigs have some bad ass stopping power
Cheers J.T.

I've had the QC to just over 145 and besides the mirrors buffeting quite a bit, the truck is very stable... However, I tried something similar with no wing and it's a much different feeling above 110-120. It just gets really light in the rear and starts to wonder a little.
 
i too have had my truck to just over 140 & was totally surprized at how stable it was...... plenty of power to spare still...... it doesn't feel that fast -- that's the scary part....

& i was doing it with the windows down -- the seat belts started buffering..... that's when i looked @ the speedo & decided it was time to sloww down......

yes, we have speed limit (130 km/h I think 80 or 85 mph), and we have lots of radar around our freeway, but in some street, you can go faster becouse there's no traffic during the day........ so during the night, you can go.

How do you feel ????? good ..... it's heavy and stable so you feel safe. The rear mirrors are useless ( too big ), but you have no time to look the rear mirror !!
 
I hate to be a butthole or naysayer here, but I've had my truck (with BOOMERS lowering kit) up to about 130-35 a coupla times.

It was about as rock steady as the top rung of a 30 foot stepladder.....going 135 mph.

Thanks man. Now if I could just get your head to fit in there it would be complete. LOL :D :p
 
I had my Reg Cab at around 145 mph on the local freeway. It was quite stable, But if you hit any kind of bump above 130 the back seems to hop a little bit, but that just adds a little fun!
