You're joking, right? The difference between 140 and 150 is nothing. Now, if you were to say 150 and 175 then I'd agree with you.
im talking like balls in your pants, not HP balls. at 150 it feels like my top is gonna fly off!!!

140 top down is nuts. I've done 153 top up, and numerous 140+ runs, but I've never taken it past 137 top down, and that was insane...I thought for sure I was going to loose everything in my cab!

Speaking of HP, where in the hell is UPS with my ITB's?!?!?

i go 80 in 65's also but there isn't room (traffic wise). i could probably do it on 78, but again these are dangerous highways. i wouldnt do it unless i had an open road in the middle of nowhere. too many imperfections/dangers on highways in my area

same . 143mwith the top down. Felt like my head was getting punched from every angle. Took a while to get there though(had no mods at the time). I also did 155 with the top up racing my buddies evo9. I don't think the car could have gone anymore. I was basically at redline. good times.
