I agree completely - don't put others' lives in danger on the road for extra speed or otherwise. I don't drink (or smoke wacky tobackie)... so... no problem there ~ ~ ~ ! Lots of fun cruisen in my 67 Wildcat though. Passing in overdrive with 360 hp and near 500 lbs fpt can be a thrill! Only a few thousand miles on completely rebuilt engine - by a renowned professional race car machinist and fine mechanics!!
Wifey B: In NC only 5. Other places, like 10. Yeah a quick pass or a fast acceleration here and there. Zero to 60 in 3 sec. They say 197 top speed but I'll never freaking know that, they could be making that number up for all I know. 560 hp. And a target car for highway patrol if there ever has been one. So better not go in the fastest pack because if they can only get one, then you're it.
