RE: 2008 Silverado
For the record, I wasn't at an official track, but rather a buddy of mine has a private air strip, so I had a good, long, wide *empty*lane. Didn't go back again due to him saying I needed a helmet next time (not to mention the 100 mi round trip), but if I remember correctly, with what speedy said, I think mine was probably around 107-8 somethin like that. Then the tach went from 5500 to 3400 and stuck there.

RE: 2008 Silverado
can honestly say that i havent had my 08 over 85. usually average 80 when going to the cabin whether im pulling the boat with the wheeler in back or nothing at all. still averaging around 17 when going 80 though so i guess it makes sense to go that fast.

Unless you are on a official track, you have no business going 100 mph in a pick up truck. But then again, me and my fellow firefighters call those hi speed guys job security.
Seriously guys, a pick up is not designed for high speed emergency maneuvers (example - something runs out into your lane, you have a blow out, the list goes on) You are playing with fire and will eventually get burned.
I have seen first hand the devastating effects these decisions can have. If you have to go fast, go to an official track.

My 2007 NBS tops out at 97 until I get a programmer. I don't necessarily feel the need to go that fast or faster, but I don't like someone else deciding for me.
