Fast is relative, Hemi vs. Hemi

I worked for Chrysler in the 70's and 440 Highway Patrol cars would easily exceed 140 mph. They would flat walk away from a helicopter.

They probably had - what - 2.76 gears? I knew some Ga. State Patrol officers back in the mid-1970's who claimed their smog 460 Fords would do 160. I was more than a bit skeptical of that claim. Thought it was funny, though, to hear these law officers bench racing just like any hot rodders I ever knew.
