screw scot.. his threads are worthless.

I basically topped out 5th and I think I hit the fuel cutoff.. so it was somewhere in the region of 138-140mph. It pulls nicely to 140.. A shift to 6th is when you really lose the umph.
SAY WHAT!!!!

try to out run radio + chopper ...

i am still not a big fan of excessive speed on public road
HAHA, speaking of choppers my buddy got 49 tickets, yes 49 tickets over the weekend running on his bike. Had 4 cars chasing him, he was un aware but they brought in the chopper and the cop cars let off...he thought he was scotch free but no the chopper was watching him w/o him knowing and followed him back to his house. He is an idiot.

I hit an indicated 162mph with my first S2000 but that was down a hill. I think on flat I hit maybe 150 but like you said it took a while.

Did you know the AP1 S2000's do 47mph in reverse.

some guy in a rental Hyundai got ticked for 147 mph.

A rental Sonata doing 147 is more impressive than an NSX doing 168.
