Granted, those polish rigs must have a hell of a ratio in the last 5 gears. And a hell of a dyno to withstand that kind of energy. I have ridden rigs maxed out on the dyno and the roaring, bucking and shaking requires you to be secured to the seat or you will be thrown about. To you saftey belt people I recall the dyno man had a remote control set in his hands controlling the dyno. 100 mph in any vehicle presents three problems. 1- Human reaction time actually is too slow to be useful. (Racing in NASCAR etc requires relative speeds between vehicles to be close to 0 allowing manuvering. 2- The mass of the total gross weight of the truck demands it to carry it straight ahead; introduce any kind of curve from the plane of straight path will induce rolling your rig. THAT is not the way you want to die. **In a severe roll over, the cab will turn over itself many times as it chops and breaks any people inside bit by bit over several seconds. Injuries are quite mortal and the affected will live long enough to regret the speed. 3- Tires. They can handle the speed for a while. Eventually heat builds up that cannot be dissapated. Heat destroys tires. The number two problem with tires is objects. Any kind of object will interfere with the physical integrety of a tire that is being made to carry thousands of pounds at speeds (RPM's) 30-50% beyond safe design limits. And finally the brakes. They are capable of stopping you one time from such high speeds. Be prepared to fight resulting fires.
