Pictures, or it didn't happen!I own both a HellCat Challenger and a Honda CBR RR1000 ABS (bike is "tweaked" a bit--including a nitrous bottle) and thank God that I live in the middle of nowhere. The only time cops are out here are when you call them. I am 55 (and still alive) but have done my share of street racing with both cars and bikes--most recent adventure at over 200 mph on the bike (clocked by a state trooper). I've had a fox-body mustang over 150 mph with the 4 banger turbo--3/4 radical cam and 17 lbs boost--and it wouldn't idle below 1600 rpm, so I've done my share of stupid stuff. My cousin (now deceased from cancer) was even worse than me--he ran "sleepers"--banged up, rusted out, primered sleds with a built to the ass big block and sometimes even a blower on it. We (at one point) had a "retired" UPS truck that served as the tow vehicle for his dirt track stock car--and we hit well over 100 mph with the truck loaded with spare parts/tires/tools and the trailer on the back with the car.

My stock V8 e430 like the one above in "Grandpa metallic beige" regularly sucked the doors off noisy Honda Civics driven by young guys in reversed baseball caps.
It was a hoot.
Ah yes--the "fart can" muffler and the 18" sub--at least it sounds fast.My mother (who just turned 81 this week) drives a Chevrolet SS--basically a big boat with a 420 hp 6.2L V-8, and she's not scared to use it. Never underestimate grandma/grandpa cars these days.
Until your last post, I didn't realize that you were from "down under"--that's where my mom's car is built--one of the GM Holden facility products, just like the modern GTO platform--sad to hear of it's closing in the next year or two.
You missed out on the pickup version, the Maloo. The favourite of young plumbers and other trades.

I always liked the holden commodore they sold as the pontiac G8 in the states, that thing could pull and sounded insane with straight pipes
Indeed--the G8 was a fantastic car, unfortunately it was killed along with the entire Pontiac nameplate. My mom's Chevrolet SS is essentially the same car with a Chevrolet nameplate. Perhaps GM will reconsider shutting down the Holden production facility if enough people maintain interest.

Sorry, try again. The W-30 was a fast car but that poor old G-block 400 would have scattered its rods into the oil pan long before you got anywhere near that speed.How fast I couldn't tell you but once on the 99 a Corvette challenged me and it had to be in the 150,160 MPH and he couldn't pass.
