The only time I bent the law a bit was on the back road I took to work, it was nearly solid double line the whole way. There was this joker in a Toyota Avalon who could not seem to find top gera, man that thing is slow. Have to admit that I passed him a few times where I was not supposed to. I had to or else I would have gone to sleep, what an iron dog.

I think he's referring to a Expedition, right Sandy?

I checked the specs on the BlueStreak;
2009 Dodge Challenger 5.7 Hemi--
0-60 5.6 seconds,
top speed 152mph,
370 h.p., 400 ft.lb of torque.
And still gets 25 mpg on the highway.
Not too shabby for a 4,100 lb car.

Those spec's seem suspect.
Are you sure bluestreak is not a rocket?

I always figured 120-130 was fast enough...mainly because I never owned anything that would go any faster.
Years ago, it was proven here in Bugtussell that some of those pony cars would take off like a big bird, 'specially when topping a hill. Back in the late 60's and early 70's everyone always stopped by the local gas station after church, there was always a mangled Mustang, Cuda, or an SS 396 in the parking lot.
Left up to me, I'd never get off of a gravel road.

Yes, it could be the Triton V10 but Mopar makes one too. They put it in the Viper and their pickups.
Maybe Sandy will break the suspense and tell us.
