Not Ranked
In my case, I was driving the Cobra early on a Sunday morning and there was NO traffic anywhere on the hiway around me. I was doing around 120 mph when I was "shock and awed" that there was virtually no wind that morning. I said "what the _uck" and just "put the pedal to the medal" and "held on". Since I was doing over 120 mph already, I reached this open strech of hiway and knew there was NO traffic anywhere ahead of me, so I "went for it". I was expecting to hit some sort of "wall" around 150 - 160 but the car was pretty smoothe. My balls only ran out after I glanced down and saw the SPEEDO going past 176 mph. There was plenty of RPM left, however I had had enough.
As Mr. Dickey has said, there are several long stretches of open hiway in the Kansas City area and if you are already doing 120+ mph and there is a 3 - 5 mile open stretch of flat hiway in front, some pretty crazed speeds can be reached.
Mr. Mustang:
I think the reason MOST people on this forum purchased high horsepower light Cobra's were because they don't have to "make _hit up".
