First please check the speed rating on the tires of your wagon.

Hmm. I wonder what would happen to those little solid rubber/plastic wheels approaching those speeds. Might need some high performance wheels.

I'll do over 100 in my Charger but in the H3 it feels like I would die in a second if I hit something in the road, naa pass

I've hit 100 mph in the H2 a couple times, and it is quite stable, but the last time I did it, we were coming over a rise, and I forgot that there was a stop sign just a few hundred feet on the other side, leading to the highway. I hit the brakes hard, and for a moment, I wasn't sure if I would stop in time. It was the first time I ever experienced brake fade, and that scared me even more. I then put the brake pedal to the floor, and didn't even have ABS flinch, they had faded so badly. But it did get me stopped. I haven't drive over the speed limit since.

The last time I had brake fade, I was coming down a mountain at 45 MPH when my jake brake quit working. It was a 6% grade about 7 miles long and windy. I just started down it when it quit. I had to do some serious braking and downshifting to keep my 105,500 lb gasoline laden rig under control. There is nothing more scary than knowing you are a rolling bomb on the verge of going out of control. Talk about a pucker factor, you couldn't put a pin up my ass with a jackhammer after that!

I can imagine that would be a terrifying experience. When my father was younger, he worked for a couple years transporting rigloads of dynamite for several of the mining companies throughout the province. He got bonus pay for delivering such things, but I do not know if money can justify that sort of thing. I was scared enough with my situation.

I guess people will drive fast in just about anything!
