    This thread would be for you guys that have the radars in your trucks that tell you the speed of the car in front of you.

    For me it was a car going into Chicago. Late at night. He flew by me in the left lane and I had time to say "##### that dude was haulin" and he was gone. But in that time, my truck hit a large bump and it threw the front end toward him for just a moment, enough for me to get his speed.....113mph.

    Another was a car doing 108 and third place was an older model Chevy pickup at 99. Not bad for a truck of about '91-'93 vintage.

    Charger getting on I65 nb In. Hit 125 if I remember correctly before it got out of range.
    I've clocked cars inside the circle well over a hundred several times.

    These speeds are nothing really. Had the GT up to 150 here and there, briefly, and in a safe spot.

    ####, when I ran highway, 90 was where our trucks were governed, which was essentially close to redline, and in certain States like Nevada, you could get away with that for many miles.

    Why don't you explain, since you are smarter?

    I've never heard of such a thing.

    I'd like to be able to clock some of the state troopers that go by me at 85 in a 65 just to go 1/2 mile up the road & pull in the median to catch speeders.
