It wasn't a good idea for Ryan Dunn to drive triple digits in the middle of the night but because this was a Mustang I guess it was OK?

Or, didn't drive drunk? That may have had a bearing on Dunn's accident...

I mean, it's nothing as exotic as say, a 928...or a well sorted 944. So, nope...I just pop the trunk, remove our cue cases, our espresso thermos, the water bottle, and go in to play. Really, there are quite a few pool halls in Florida...you should go into one some day. They're great places to study human nature. Just walk in with a cue case, lay a few hundreds on the rail of the table, and say: "I'll give anyone here the 8." You might also wear a T shirt with a fish on it...

158 in a Bullitt Mustang is really great. I had no idea they were that fast. But it is one fine looking car, a real sleeper.

The alleged retired cop should know better... tsk tsk. Aren't there race tracks up on Washington state where folks can get their jollies off in a venue where high speeds is not an issue? I bet they even let in Mustangs.... Just sayin' -Z-man.

My old F-car did 190 or so. Girls always thought it was the new Mustang, since it had a horse on the hood. LMAO! 220.... now that's impressive. 158, not so much. Most of my bikes will do that.

168 in my Pantera (FL Turnpike) before I let off (the bike I was "racing" let off @ 140 or so). The Italian tuna can was rattling like Katherine Hepburn's head in a helicopter and I could feel the front end getting light (didn't have a front splitter/spoiler). (And I'm not even a retired cop!).

That's just what Paul titled the thread... maybe he thought it helped because the guy had some experience at the wheel of a heavy car going in a straight line.

2am, 158mph, retired cop. One man thinking he's above the law. Sounds like being intoxicated to me. The proper authorities ought to locate, jail and permanently remove any retirement benefits for being a dump a$$. That ought to fix his wagon. However, I'd be willing to bet there is a recidivist in this ex-law enforcement officer, just never been caught.
