148 mph on the way back from C5F II in the Death Valley area. Had a couple of cars out front checking for Smokies.

Also... Just for a usable reference...

If you're traveling at 120MPH.. You're moving at 176ft/s..

For you Football people..

That's 58.6667 yards/sec ----

So.. Think of how much energy you're carrying with you in a 3860 lb car at those speeds..

Interesting, although Pumpkin felt solid at that speed, the sound of the air rushing around the car was kind of un-settling. It started around 145 mph that's why I backed out at 148 mph.

130 in 4th gear. Solid as a rock too.

Shut it down at 130.......It was fast enough for me.

[Black5thgen]

88 mph, then I some how wound up in 1985.

[GotGame55]

I'm begging you (again) - if you're going to see how fast your Camaro will go - please take it to a closed course. (and by the way - they're all fast.......)

I post this because I care about YOU and I care about the innocent people who might be injured or worse --


************************


Ladies and Gentlemen - my Camaro Comrades and Firebird Friends....


I'm sitting at my desk choking back tears -- because we lost another one of our Camaro Comrades --- and it didn't have to happen........

http://www.wwmt.com/articles/county-...ing-crash.html

By all accounts, Marine Greg Courtney was a great guy - a great friend, son, and he was a hero who served in Afghanistan........

None of us will ever know exactly what happened or WHY it happened......but we do know that he was travelling at very high speeds - and that alcohol was involved.

Yes - we can be thankful that there weren't friends in the Camaro with him -

.....and yes, we can be thankful that no other vehicle was involved....

...... and yes, we can be thankful that he didn't strike someone's home........

...........but we lost another fine young Marine - and a Camaro Comrade......and it didn't have to happen.

As you watch the attached videos, you will plainly see that there is no way our engineers can save a person from this type of accident......and just because cars are capable of high speed doesn't mean that you need to try them out 'just to see what it'll do' ........

You've heard me say it thousands of times - and I will CONTINUE to say it -
....and I will continue to BEG you:

Please - DO NOT GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF ANY CAR OR TRUCK AFTER YOU'VE BEEN DRINKING...........

FURTHER - I hear some of you talk about getting your cars up to triple digits on 'back roads' --

...........and I think what people don't realize is that all it takes is for one dip in the road -

..... one deer to step in front of you -

.....one child on a bicycle to dart out -

.............and a similar accident could occur......and it will never have a happy ending........

PleasePleasePlease - think about what you're about to do when the urge hits you to 'see what happens'........it may not end well.....

Someone lost a beloved son - someone lost their best friend -- the Marines lost one of their brave -- and we lost a Camaro Comrade..........



Rest in Peace -- Comrade Greg Courtney......and thank you for your service to our country - but you died way too soon and for the wrong reasons.....

It's important enough to say again

A young girl lost her life in my community not long ago at the hands of her boyfriend driving a vet going to fast. Bottom line, It didn't have to happen.
