Ya can't outrun the radio. Trust me, I know for sure. In Oklahoma, after 100 mph, you go to jail. I got clocked at 151 in a 55 in my 77 camaro. (it was "slightly" modded too) I was a juvie so the trooper followed me to my house and told my dad on me. He is an old hot-rodder from way back, so after the trooper left, he wanted to race me in his pick up. Never got around to it, but it woulda been a heckuva race. He had a 1992 chevy short box silverado with a supercharger.
