Why's a muscle car poking along down the interstate at 60 mph anyway?
ROYAL OAK, Mich. (FOX 2) - A road rage incident on I-75 in Oakland County led to someone being shot at over the weekend.
Michigan State Police are investigating the incident after getting a call from a driver who said they had been going 60 mph in the middle lane near 14 Mile when another car got combative with them.
There are currently lane closures on I-75 for ongoing construction-posted limit in that stretch is currently 60mph. There is another year before the modernization project is done.
I have a 74 Stingray. It is a 190hp 350 that has been slightly massaged to 330hp going to a 4-speed rockcrusher 4 speed back to a 4:11 rear. I am just over 3100 rpm at 60. Gas mileage go to shit above 3k rpm and it is loud. I never take it on the interstate. I have been contemplating changing the rear gear to a 3:36 which would be better suited to its HP.
I just bought a ‘66 GTO, it has a 430 gear behind a Muncie. 55 mph is 3,000 RPM. Point a gun at me or my car, and you’ll get a mag dumped into you. What a world class asshole. Buddha
I learned to drive on that stretch of road way back when. No one went as slow as 60 even when the speed limit was 55. Right lane, right lane, way right lane.
I give no shit to any Chrysler driver after 1970. After that, they're all assholes and posers.
