Dang, that's a ton over the limit.  Not sure I would even be alive if I drank that much.

I had my challenger at an indicated speed of 135 and it was just a tad 'floaty'. Started to wander back and forth a bit like an overloaded half ton.
How did it feel at 154?

Definitely not denying the fact that alcohol and/or drugs really make, especially young people, do crazy and dangerous things.
:drunk:

I know after a few drinks I'm not driving, but I've often wondered what I would 'blow' on the breathalyzer. Especially when I've had what I consider to much to drink.  Am I at .08? .05? 1.0? Don't really know, but I'm curious.

My Challenger had a Hemi and it felt real good at 154MPH actually,  It was singing at 7000RPM, I think the extra weight of the Hemi up front led to it feeling glued to the road at that speed. It was dumb to do it on a public highway but there was pretty much no traffic back then.

I did the same back in the 80's with my first Challenger( over 120mph-speedo stops at 120?) on the way home from trade school in Toronto. Scary and dumb! :whiteflag: :looney: Was on the DVP tried to turn for a corner.... nope, took 3 lanes to make the turn. Next morning I fired it up to go to work and the front u joint broke dropping the driveshaft on the ground. ...... "Someone" was watching out for a dumb kid!
