On my sig is normally where my speedo sat while in Germany.... 110mph
After I toped a hill at 155mph and an accident was there in my path and I was not able to stop quick enough ( I had to steer around it at over 140mph), I kept it below 130mph unless I had a long line of vision ahead.

I just wish I had somewhere around her I could really open her up, or at least get to the 155mph limit... I was able to hit 162mph in one of my old ford broncos. That truck was a beast when I was done with it, woulda beat the hell out of the 4.6is, and that isn't the easiest task for a big heavy suv with mud tires.

And that bronco hooked better in the high speed turns than the E36 325is I just sold!

'79, '90, '96 bronco man myself - the '79 I did the headers, dual freeflow exhaust, Edelbrock intake, & Holley 4-barrel (351 V8) - stomped on it once at 65mph to get away from an 18-wheeler on my bumper (I295 in NJ) - Well the 4-barrel kicked in and it was like dropping into warp-drive - by the time I had gotten over the shock, the speedometer had wound completely around to 30mph (no pegs on the speedo back then) AND it was still pulling - when I thought to look back, the 18-wheeler had disappeared far, far behind me - that was back when the national speed limit was 55 and the speedos only went to 80 - ran Dunlop Radial Rovers which ran very quiet for an aggressive tread & were good in snow (back when NJ actually got snow)

You know what FORD stands for......

Guys I'm sure their is a Ford forum to share your love affair with venerable "Bronco." You may even find O.J. reminiscing on how he misses his............

Hey now, we can show some love for the old broncos. Missing the old beasts I had is one of the things that got me into the X5! (sold my last one right before I got it) Had I driven old mustangs rather than 4x4 trucks I would likely be in, or looking for an E39 M5 as that is my favorite BMW car.
