Them 3.8 liters with all six cylinders hammering hard I have had it up over 100. But yeah it ain’t fast by any means.

An 18 yr old had a supercharged 3.8 in an early 2000's Regal.
Came down my road at well over 100.
Hit a slight little rise over the bridge over the creek and got airborne.
Remember this is a front wheel drive, so the longer half shaft twists a little under high torque, creating that left-right awkwardness.
He landed sideways, slid sideways into a telephone pole, snapping it in 3 pieces, then rolled 4 or 5 times into a different creek, landed right side up. Killed instantly.
Cops estimated he was doing around 140.

They made a Pontiac grand am that had a supercharged 3.8 in it. Worked with a guy that had one. Mine isn’t. Lol I hit 100 and then I remember my tires aren’t speed rated and slow my ass back down.
was in the army with a guy that had a turbocharged and nitrous fogged Lancer Evo. He was street racing just outside of Hinesville Ga. He was doingan estimated 120-135 when the left steer failed. parts of the steel belts wrapped around the tie rod end and locked the wheel to the left pulling him into a large cypress tree. Splitthe car in half. He died in ICU 2 hours later. His passenger who was wearing a seat belt survived with a broken hip and collar bone.
anyway accident investigators said the wreck happened because the tires weren’t speed rated for 120 andthe belts failed.

If you're gonna be retarded at least make sure you're properly equipped.

I do like to go fast. But I prefer to do it in controlled environment.

80 is about all I care to do anymore. I'm just too cheap to burn the fuel.

When I was 18 or 19 I was doing about 110 on a motorcycle, in the right lane of a 4 lane, 45 zone, approaching a green light and about to pass a car that was in the left lane.
At the last second the car moved into my lane.
I aimed for the shoulder which was about a foot wide.
My clutch lever stuck an inch past the end of the handlebar. The clutch lever hit the car but the handlebar didn't.
So I literally hit a car at 110 mph with a 65 mph speed difference and all it did was break my clutch lever in half and scrape up a knuckle on my pinky finger.
And of course, at that age, I didn't care. I was just pissed I had to operate the clutch with two fingers.

I woke up in hospitals looking at pretty nurses 5 times from 15-20 years of age because of idiot drivers aiming for me on my bikes. I got in 2 headon's, 2 rear ends and one cut across my path for a broadside. I gave up and wrapped myself in late 60's Cadillac steel.

Yeah I went almost 20 years without a motorcycle, then my dad gave me his old broken down Goldwing.
People in cars drove like retards back then, but today everyone has cell phones to distract them.
Naturally I prefer to stick to the farm roads.

My first car was a 77 Monte Carlo. 305 in it. Not a 350. A hole had rusted through one of the rear wheel wells. I had a friend in the front seat and my second girlfriend in the back. I went through a huge puddle and her ass got wet. She was not happy.
The doors were all rusted. When you slammed them closed they made a KACHUGGA sound.
Someone told me if you flip the lid of he air breather you got more horsepower, so I did.
Apparently more horsepower practical jokes have been around a while.
Made it sound cooler though. And oddly enough it didn't have that dreadful landau top so it looked pretty cool, and was a nice maroon color.

My brother had a booger green 78 with a landau roof. It was actually pretty good looking ad he bought it from an old lady who took care of it.
We dropped a rebuilt 350 in it, then he wrecked it.
My Monte Carlo story :
I bought a new Cougar in 84, 302 with that screwy variable venturi carb. Buddy decided he needed a new car to keep up, and bought an SS Monte Carlo. 4 bbl carb, stall convertor, short gears, posi. On paper it should have smoked that Cougar. Pissed him off to no end that once we got rolling, I could just walk away from him, a good 4-5 lengths in the quarter. (Back then we raced on old 66, which was I-40 frontage road, and had a measured 1320' painted)
I still smile thinking about how mad he'd get.
