Very funny comments. Low coolant..something I never knew since I have not gone that fast. I'll say this though, at 147mph, there seemed like a lot of engine left to get close to that. Certainly felt the pull at that speed too! Would love to top end the car, but doubt it would see 180 with those fat rear dumbo ears. Where does one achieve that kind of speed...legally in the US outside of ORR?

I pulled over for him and he sheepishly asked me if I knew why he was pursuing me. I said no, and he said he didn't either. Noticing the large black rectangular object hovering over his car, I instantly knew we weren't in Kansas anymore. I would lead him back, toward town at a similar velocity and hope to stop before he became a giant fetus. G

Actually, that has happened to me several times. I don't know where the coolant goes but it comes back after the car cools. Fill the bottle another 1/4" above the seam and you will have no more problems. Never had heating problems but the low coolant light has come on a couple of times before I added more coolant to raise the level above the seam.

Man, I guess I just ain't got the ***** for it bro. 140 once. I'm not scared of the speed I back off from pangs of fear at being stopped and what would happen.

Geeeze is the usual answer this slow...
My low coolant lite doesn't come on until around 225 - relay, relay, relay!

I was test driving the '86.5 and just as I hit the redline in 4th and went to shift......
I noticed the Highway patrol car.
