I just want to get in a car some day - before I die - and drive from 0-130 mph in less than 6 seconds... Is that too much to ask? Kidding... I just love muscle cars with 1,000 hp or so... I really would love to drive one (not a virtual one, Graham...sorry) just to do it... I am a pocket rev-head after so many years sailing at 5-8 knots... I want SPEED!!!! My SRT can do 0 - 60 in about 3 seconds, they are affordable Tommy. There is a long onramp near my workplace 5am Sunday mornings quickly runs up to 160 not even slowing and I loose my nerve that's the fastest I've gone in a car. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fastest experience was as a passenger hitch-hiker in Berlin in 1973. The nut-job I got a ride with was pissed because the speed limit for foreign (not East) Germans through the "corridor" was 100 kph. As soon as we cleared the West Berlin gateway (in his BMW something), he took off at over 240 kph (about 145 mph) in the left lane in rain and flashing his high beams at anyone in his path... I started out clutching the hand-holds and dash for a while then, realizing the futility of that, just relaxed in my seat because I knew that, if we crashed, no effort of holding on would help... I was just glad to arrive, finally, safe and sound... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below is a picture of my Sleekline cross over fitted with a 350 cubic inch Mercury V-8 - carby version. It was in a mild state of tune and only making 310 horse power because it was better to have low down grunt to pull the skiers and boarders out of the water. It'd still do 55 mph (90kph) though.
