[Chrysler300] Tires & speed

["James McMullan" <macthehammer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are Letter cars have 150 mile per hour spedomerers.The legion I have always heard was they were guarantied to pin that unit off the showroom floor ( After break in ) and they were accurate within 1%. The best I ever did was 146 indicated.It was still puling but I was running out of road (traffic ahead) and was also worried about the tires.900x14 byas- ply 4 ply nylon but well used.Has any one on the list burred the needle? The reason I bring this up is there has bean a lot of chatter about tires in the last 6 months. but speed rating is never mentioned! People are concerned about the whit wall and the look.I cant see putting a 90 mile per hour tire on a 150 m.p.h car . My F has a 292 rear cog,413 bored ,060 over (427 c.i) and at that speed was tacking 63-66 hundred r.p.m.bouncing a LOT.Now before you all start yelling Go to silverstateclassic.com. you can also go back through the years and see what the letter cars did in the past..Fast cars should be driven Fast.And by the the fins do apply down force at about 120 m.p.h. When I get the F on the road I will be going with V rated ,and don't care if they are Green Wals.Jim McMullan 300 F
