On that episode with the black Daytona, the owner blabbed about how the car was caught on Police radar doing 176 mph.
Yeah, SURE it was.
No stock Daytona would ever reach that speed, even with 2.76 gears and a Hemi.

Once you get over 150, each mph gets exponentially harder to achieve. Just for grins, 150 mph may be doable with a 375 gross HP mill but to get another 26 mph, you'd probably need another 150 HP.

Give anything to experience a top speed run in one of those things...
At Pocono Raceway here in PA, they have a "NASCAR Experience". You can either drive a car yourself or get taken around the track at higher speeds. Of course, these are not with Daytona's or Superbirds, but a buddy of mine did it and he said it was a great time (he drove). He said it was pretty scary going that fast, but super cool.

Doesn’t everybody have great stories from 40/50 years ago
Like factory 383 Six packs and 440 Hemis
I remember buying my 71 Superbee back in 1984 , I was in high school
Everyone and I mean everyone had me so convinced that Dodge never made a factory 71 Superbee I never saw another one in WI , so I believed them at the time
It wasn’t until the Mopar Nationals many years later
Anyways , stories , we all have stories
The guy was full of ****, like a Christmas goose!!
In Nascar trim the car broke the 200mph barrier with about 550 hp,700hp Nascar engines are what they run these days. The street versions are aerodynamic enough to achieve the 176 speed, not sure that is possible with a stock 440. I think over 150 is possible with enough road though.

The owner's son said they had the ticket to prove it. Now did police radar go that high? I believe he stated they were patrolling that section of highway with a helicopter.
Anyway cool one owner story. I don't know if his dad (the owner) ever left the hospital and got to ride in it or not before he passed. They wrote a memorial at the end of the show for him.

No more Garage Squad? That’s too bad if so. It was done in this area. I’ve seen some of the cars around.
Maybe with backorders and shortages it’s impossible to do quick and dirty builds like they did on the show anymore.
