I think Officer BudBud should cuff and stuff each and every one of you reckless law breaking speeders and throw away the key! Or worse...impound all your Savages!!!

Nothing ex-cop about me, still in it, my 26th year. I think one of my Savages hit a little over 200mph, in my buddy's airplane.....

...around 170mph in a MH53J Pave Low III. And there were no stop lights or traffic to deal with, and if anything were to get in our way, we had 2 mini-guns and a .50 cal to make it disappear. Not to mention the personal firepower onboard. lol. Long live the Pave Lows.

I've hit about 158 in my 2000 Camaro in stock-ish form. Heads and cam now with absolutly NOWHERE to open it up. My fastest speed was in the wide open desert of New Mexico 70 miles from any signs of life. No savage though. I laid off because I was starting to get nervous.. It CAN do it.. easily now.

100MPH in a 1996 S-10 4-Door Blazer. 4.3L V6. AWD. Actually Saturday on the way to Local indoor race track in Falconer Ny. Associated SC10, Associated TC3 and a Tamiya King Hauler. I think they were screaming, "Faster, Faster!" On a Four Lane Highway, No traffic. Just for Sh*%'s and Giggles.

But I wonder if he still has his law enforcement-grade clocking devices? I would ask him to clock my RCs for me; all I have is a $65 Bushnell, which I doubt can be calibrated to be as accurate as police radars and laser clocking devices.

Totally aside from the point, but forget the pip-squeak Lycoming cheap-o engines, get a Rolls Ryoce Merlin!

Now that beautiful piece of machinery is what gave classic planes like the Spitfire and Mustang the ability to soar! (Well, most Mustangs had the American counterpart, Packard Merlin, but Packard built Merlins under appropriate trade licenses from Rolls.)

No land speed records, but water crossing distance I might have a contender. Virginia to ireland. Held a steady 30 knots for 8 days. . Did some sweet backflips on the flight deck of our ship. Always wanted to get on the JFK (aircraft carrier) and play on a full size flight deck but I don't think the admiral would have been cool with that.

You surely hit the fuel cutoff at that speed. GM ''speed limits'' all of their trucks.

I think the fastest any of my rc vehicles ever went was traveling by Jet from Tower hobbies to PA, and then they slowed down to probably around 70 mph!!
I know a lot of people laugh when I say I think my 2002 sable would do around 135 mph ungoverned. Its the 3.0 dohc engine and it pulls like a freight train to 110 mph and nothing more plenty of motor and not even working at that speed.
My 93 escort gt would do around 127 mph though, but the tranny failed at 208000 thousand miles. A fantastic car for sure!!
