My brand new 1990 Corrado -- 240 kph eastbound QEW and Bronte Rd 3:30 am -- no cars in front of me as far as you could see. That is except for the cruiser parked on the left shoulder just over the rise.
I was in the left lane - can't imagine how hard his car must have rocked as I went by just 2 feet away; I think I woke him up. By the time the lights came on I was already at Dorval and taking the exit. The Corrado is rock solid at speed - no drama whatsoever.
But for drama the most memorable high speed adventure was in my best friend's father's 1963 Mercury Monterey -- 352-4bbl -- Hwy 401 (when it was just 4 lanes by the airport) he had the speedo pegged at 130 mph -- but no telling how fast we were really going because everything was vibrating so much. That car was scary ... no brakes, no suspension, no safety features, skinny bias-ply tires ... oh yeah ... his dad was a mortician at Turner & Porter.
