When I was in college I caught a ride home with a couple of guys who commuted in a GTO, Pontiac Version of the 442. Another college kid passes us in a GTO. Now it begins on Route 66. 4 lane highway and we wind up side by side. I'm in the back so I get a clear look at the speedometer. Past the 120, across the brake light and back to 0. Had to be doing 140, topped a hill and a semi was pulling back onto the road. Got home and changed underwear.

Dave, That was a big car, and could the driver a kick in the ass. I think I have you beat on size for an older car. I had a 59 or 60 Pontiac Grand Prix, two door, new, when I was about to get married for the first time. We went to New Orleans for the "honeymoon??" and stayed in a hotel in the French Quarter which had an elevator to take cars up to the garage area. After checking in, and getting to the room, the front desk called and said we had a problem. The damn thing was too big for the elevator, and had to be left parked on the street. I could have put a piano in that trunk. I pegged that thing out on a country road at 120, but in going over a slight rise in the road, got airborne, and let off the pedal in a flash.
