120 KPH is only 80 MPH. My 90 can hit that.

My ram is originally from USA so it has a mph speedometer.
I allso have a GPS metering device that reads miles per hour. If the GPS says im running allmost 200 km/h it must be 120 miles/hour HUH? RPM was about 3750/min. in high gear.https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...s/director.gif

In a straight line on a good road that wouldn't be bad. I'd hate to have to make much of a turn at that speed though.

Y'all are nuts, I've been 200 plus in a Superbird, 160 plus in my old GTX, and 150 in my old Caprice........the Caprice was a bit squirrel y, but there is no way on earth I would run one of these things 120 MPH........

my old 88 with P.O.D s and a stock H1C on the 93 motor backed by a nv 4500 with 3.54 rear gear would wrap the speedo needle around past 100 with out too much effort and go a little further..just never had enough road

I've had hotrods. fastest was a sub 8 69 mustang. But there is something magical about being pinned to the seat, passing a little ricer...with another car on a trailer behind you!
It's only for a short distance before they pass me but the looks you get are priceless.
