actually that's 328 HP. Dodge R/T magnum 440 CI. 4 speed stick, 150 mph stock speedo. used to have one. Passed everything on the road-----except a gas station. ran it to 95 in 3rd gear and chickened out. I know it would have pegged the 150

My friend and I did 130 on a backroad. Then he noticed there was a police car behind us w/ his lights on! We pulled over as we turned left, but he kept going straight. My friend Sh*t bricks because he didn't have a liscence at the time!
Careful! I just read 2 days ago some guy in Europe got pulled over for doing 163 MPH!
If you get caught going too fast, that's reckless endangerment, and you could have your liscence revoked!
