Vincent When I got my first Fury in 1957 I had the car over 130mph on the speedometer a few times and I still had pedal left. That was a long time ago, but I'm sure the cars will go that fast today. I'm not ssure I would like to go that fast anymore, but it's nice to know that you can do it if you had to.

Many, many times we saw the speedo needle go behind the faceplate, which was well past the 150mph that it showed. No doubt that it was inaccurate at that speed, but it wasn't that far off. I'm guessing in the 140's. this was down a loooong hill, locally known as "100 mile hill", on Rt 40 west of Baltimore. And we survived those years!!! -- |
