'bout the fastest I've been was in my dad's
69 Mustang that had a 351 4V Cleveland with a three speed stick and 3.10 gears.
When I went to college I had it for a short time down there to do some mechanical work to it. My cousin and I were bringing it back and he had a 72 Lemans GT37 at the time with a 400 4bbl. When I finally got by him the speedo needle was pointing straight down which was about 3/4 inch past 120. I remember that the steering was REALLY light at that speed.
Of course this was at night, two lane road on semi-hilly terrain. The things we do when we're young.
Well at least I'm still not driving Fords anymore.
