Default how fast?

135 mph on the front straight of the South course at VIR. With Mac, Michlein test driver, hit 140+ on two occassions. Back in my misspent youth, according to the speedometer in a Charger R/T 440, it was pegged on 150. I never believed the speedometer was correct though. I don't think a 440 could possibly push one past 130 or so. A 10,000+ ft runway was shut down at a local airport, a friend was shot with radar and clocked at 156 mph in his SPF with a 427 sideoiler, a Southern Automotive engine. Stroked and lots of hosepower! Tremec 3550 and the standard 3.73 rearend.
