Marvelous, simply marvelous.

Awesome! :) Brings back memories of when I was visiting family in Germany this past August and drove on the autobahn for the first time. It was exhillerating to say the least! It would have been nice to drive on it with a Mustang, but I was stuck with a rented VW Polo :(
Blower whine makes me hard.

Wow! I haven't had much chance to poke my nose in here lately but I'm happy to find a link like this upon my return! I think Oklahoma needs an "Oklabahn".

I thought that is what the Hefner Parkway was? Now that cops can't turn around anymore.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Mustang GT doing it.

If you buy it, you will not be dissapointed!! Gen 1's are fun. Erik D. '94 white lightning '01 white GT
Joe,
What does the speedo go up to on the Lightnings? Patrick '93 Cobra '83 LTD
Not sure. But from that video it looks like it needs more or bigger numbers. The speedo needle stopped while the tach kept creeping upward.

Over in the Dodge group they said the speedo topped out at 140. It's too hard to tell on the video.

It is 140mph.

ALSO, on this truck it's in kph. The top number is 220, which is just shy of 140(137.5 mph).
By watching the tach after the speedo buries, I calculate they hit about
157.5 or 158 mph at just a tick over 4800 rpm.Rob
Insanity. Thats just plain sick. I bet it was alot of fun though ;) Erik D. '94 white lightning '01 white GT
Good lord. How much HP does it tack to shove a Lightening through the air that fast. I didn't get the details on the truck.
I think the latest lightning was rated at 380 hp. I'm impressed with how quick it reaches the end of the scale also. It doesn't need that much space to reach it. Remove NO-SPAM from email address when replying
