HI!... Well you guys knew I was going to answer this thread!LOL! I speed on the street,I speed on the highway, I speed through the bush! Just ask JMC how I drive. OOPS better not, he speeds as much as I do!LOL! Seriously though whem I'm on the 401, I go 100- 120mph if the traffic will allow me. If there is a long stretch with no traffic than I top her out at 132mph. In the city I average about 40-45mph. Yes I speed, but I know where all the cops around here hang out!LOL!

Well I speed as much as I can about 20 over sometimes more I have done 80+ in a 30 a few times in this truck I would have never done that in my Mustang when I had it as I was more afraid of getting pulled over in that now that I got this truck I drive alot faster than I normaly done in my Mustangs because I feel like I can get away with speeding more since most cops around here look for sports cars more than they do for trucks when enforcing speed laws but on long trips I do the limit unless I am passing a 18 wheeler I don't like to ride beside them to long so I floor it to get by them.

Neal and others, how do you guys know how fast you're going? My speedometer doesn't go that high! You guys got special speedometers?

Neal, when you make these runs, do you put on the digital speedo thru the odometer? I like using that.

Oh, that digital setting goes past the analog reading?

I really don't know why I'm asking other than to satisfy my curiousity. I don't think I'll ever take this truck over 80 mph.
