    Wow.

    5 pages and 18+ hours and the OP still has only 1 post, and people are still replying with expert opinions.

    Wind resistance isn’t as bad as you think under 130ish. I can see an empty truck ungoverned running 98-100ish mph empty rolling down the mountains or with a 3-4mile downgrade
    There’s a massive jump between 100 and 130mph when it comes to power vs returns.
    Kind of like drag racing a 10second car isn’t hard to build for cheap, but runnings 8s is a MF nightmare unless you’ve got 12-15K for a motor
    I’d be willing to bet an ungoverned modern truck could hit 100mph empty with a long straight stretch.
