I don't know the mph, but the tach was reading about 3600 rpm, and this was with 285/75/16" tires, so it shoud be in the 125-130 mph range. And I rode with Mtomac at over 3700 rpm with the same size tires.

I can only get up to 90mph on the speedo. Thats with 35-12.50's and 4.10's. I dont think it is slow but Its surely not fast! How can I get it to pull all the way to 3000+pm's??? Any one know?

105 mph at 3200 rpms, was still pulling but I got skeered of th tires
155 mph in a 98 six speed trans am between exits, what a rush! It was still pulling too but I didn't want to pass that exit for fear of smokey sitting on the other side where he usually is Did 130 mph in 72 plymouth fury, I held in to the floor from the bottom of monteagle in tenn till I got to murfreesboro, car started shimmying. When I stopped and got gas I found out why, a bulge on the rear tire where the belts had broken That was before I knew about speed ratings on tires

117 for me freakin out a couple of kids in civics that blew past me. I think what freaked them out the most was I was doing 60 and in less than two hyway markers I blew past them.
God knows I love this truck!!!!!



P.S. MERRY CRISTMAS... I am up waiting to open gifts...

79.5 mph. Thats the max I've ever gotten, according to the "max speed" setting on my GPS. The truck is capable of MUCH more, but the thing wants to shake itself apart past 75 mph. 80 was all I dared because the vibes got so bad. New tires helped slightly, but not much. Oh well, thats repairs for the future.

110 with a 05 3/4 ton chevy 4x4 on the trailer before i decided it was not a smart thing to do with cargo on the trailer, was racing some motorcycles should have seen their face when i went by the first one at about 95 . about 105 racing a 05 ford who had the quadzilla race and no trailer while i had my 40 ft gn on with no load running I 37. he was impressed with the fact that he couldnt out run me and i still had a 8k trailer on the back Avg alittle over 75 mph with a 24ft trailer thru tenn and we even stopped for diesel along the way came out of Naashville with a big truck running about 105 in my 01. These others are in my 03 with out a trailer i dont know how fast it will go but with a trailer it will run 100 all day long.

WOW!! how do you all drive at those upper speeds. my truck is a HANDFULL at 85 mph. its screaming, everything is buzzing, sounds like the CTD is going to grenade(reving ~ 2600-2700). its SO loud at those rpms. besides all that, its just a big vehicle to be tossing around traffic.

My truck handles the same at 125-130 as it does at 55 or 70 or 30. I had my right forearm resting on my thigh while my hand held the wheel loosely. I figured if I was going to wreck, it wouldn't have made a difference with one hand or two. (I would be a goner either way. ) Now I would never do this on bad road, because all it takes is a little bump, and your gone.

97-100 mph if I stay in in the whole time, pushin 38lbs+ of boost at 1200 degrees. She wont do much past that, unless its down hill. I was on the autobahn with my Uncle a few years back in his 325i BMW and we were pegged on 148mph and we had to get over so a motorcycle could pass us...

Guys, 190km/h or 118 mph at 3250 rpm. Got rid of the speed limiter and gained 20 km or 12mph.Won't go higher till I get rid of the rev limiter as far as I can tell. Ran strong to 3250 and just stood there. If it is defueling it is doing it very well. EGT's 1390 on a 1450 defuel. Anyone got a rev fooler. ks

Well 128 on the GPS on my way to work one day. Still felt it pulling, but again tires and EGT's were on my mind, but the BMW in the fast lane wasn't laughing ...............I got the number one sign as I was exiting of the interstate .

I haven't really tried yet, but TIMINVA said it barried the speedo on the dyno. If I ever get brave and stupid again I'll try it.

114.5 MPH with A/C 115 w/o A/C according to the GPS.

Was in a little hurry to help my Dad who got ran off the road one day, and I was cruising 114.5MPH for a couple miles,, (about 10 or 15) when the Left front decided to let go. Whoo-Hoo What a Rush! Wow,, two weeks later, at 95MPH the right front Let go. Needless to say,, I hate Coopers.

When you can go from a standing start to 110MPH in only 1400' it's not hard to get up to 100MPH when cruising 70MPH.

I did ~130mph in my 4x4 racing a vette one day. He had a very confused look on his face when we both pulled into the same speed shop after our tango on the highway. LOL
