I've drove from Bowling Green, OH to Trenton, NJ and back a couple times non-stop. Thats 560 miles and a lonely 9 hours each way. I didn't have the pedal to the metal but usually cruisin at 75-80 mph down I-80/I-76 the whole way. So yea I think it would make it.

 

Under you new revised plan, yeah, I think it could, shouldn't be a problem. But flat out on a track, no. If you could even keep it on the track, it'd break.

 

Mine took a ride from Philadelphia, PA to Lake George, NY 330 Miles. 80 MPH 4-4.5 hours. In the Summer heat no prob.
I have driven 90 MPH for an hour or moreon I 95. no prob there. A new car should be able to handle that no Prob.

 

I'll say Daytona no chance at flat out.

Interstate at 100 mph for 500 miles - practically done it myself going to Indianapolis.

 

flat out would mean all it can do.. 130-140 mph. I do'nt think going around those turns, that fast, for that long, would hold out. I'm thinking unless you put something besides OEM tires on it, you're going to lose it in the middle of a turn.

 

I don't think the rear spoiler would last that long ...

 

[/align][align=center][/align][align=left]With your revised plan, I think the Monte could do this. But you'd have to have performance tires that are able to handle that kind ofspeed and temperature for an extended period of time. A better question is, could YOU the driver handle it? Fatigue, bathroom breaks, and so on.[/align][align=left][/align][align=left]Something I forgot to mention about running the oval track...[/align][align=left]The racecars are biased towards the left, to try to counter-act centrifugal force. So the cars are not as likely to pull to the right, and pull you into the wall. A stock Monte could never survive being turned to the left for five hours at 100 mph.[/align]

 

 

As far as just driving, I think I could beat all of you, and thats not just me running my mouth (except for you other truckies out there)

I will stop fro gas before I stop for a break, thats for sure.

You see, my dad drives trucks. I ride with him every summer. He taught me how you get to places.. you do'nt speed, you just hit the road, set you cruse 3-5 mph over the speed limit, and keep on going. When we go on road trips in the car, my dad and mom actualy want to stop WAY more than I do. I remember one time my dad and I left the Ohio/WV line after waking up and breakfast one morning in a truck stop... we left around 8:30 a.m.... and we didn't stop until 3:30 that afternoon for asnack and a drink (no kidding, thats true). I remember when I drove 100% of the way home from Florida in 12 hours... thats with my parents insisting we stop 3 times more than I wanted to (I only wanted to stop for gas and dinner, and we did those at the same time). So, when ever you guys think you can get me in the endurance run, come on

 

100 mph for 5 hours, easy. Wide open, no way. I'm driving there, everyone else can share the drive back.
