How fast have you driven in your Ranger?

I'm curious how fast people have taken their Ranger. I know there will be some out there that do not approve. Personally I was on a road trip this weekend and had it up to about 96. Felt pretty stable at 90 but started to feel squirrely above that. Still have the factory shocks so that could be the issue. Not sure if there is a limiter at a certain speed.

110, I beleive you can raise it with tuning.
I cannot get past 110. I suppose having a tonneau cover helps it to ride smooth. No shaking, no vibrations, just smooth sailing. So far so good. I was thinking of strapping wings on the bed to see if that would help. That turbo is awesome. Helps me get away from idiots real quick. I think they ought to rename i95 as the Florida autobahn. Rarely did we ever used to see anyone doing over 79 or 80 now they blow your doors off at that speed all day long.

85. Was passing a string of semi's on the Interstate. Normally I set the CC on 65 or 70 max. if the flow of traffic will allow it.

.... A highway patrol officer told me the other day they're not allowed to ticket anyone doing up to 10 miles an hour over the speed limit. I normally do 79 and I can't keep it in the left-hand lane so as to void death and destruction in road rage. The funny thing is, when I'm doing 5 miles an hour over, I often get city cops run up behind me and run my tag, which I know because they're riding my ass pacing me, then they just zip around me and go their merry way. You know the ones that are above the law.

The supposedly unwritten rule for speed enforcement over the limit by GA HP is:

Nine you're fine, Ten you're mine.

Don't know how true this is though.

I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may tend to incriminate me. :LOL:
