NHRA Pro Stock Probe, over 189. Everything else, I plead the fifth. Well, at least I should. 78 GRand Prix, 400 Pontiac built my way, 5600rpm with 275-60/15 tires and 2.41 rear gears. Did I back off when the windshield popped and spiderwebbed? No, I just took my right hand and pushed outward on it for another 3/4 of a mile then eased out of the go pedal. That was fun. Don't know how much higher the rpm may have went after the glass popped, I didn't really have enough eyes to look at the tach ! My first high speed experience was with my 69 Firebird, 455, RA3 cam, 2.73 rear gears. Seen 145mph on the 160 speedo, but the air gettting under the car made me back off, but not enough to stop for the flashinglights WAY back there. Thank God those old 318 Diplomats could barely top 100 in Police car trim!!!
