Yup. I haven't had the Hard top tightened so it was extremely loud with wind noise getting in and vibrations.
The whole time the photographer was telling Sparrow there's a cop and Sparrow couldn't even hear...nor was he taking his eyes off the road lol. That was when they were still climbing speed too.

For street use the stock braking system is fine. For the track, you will obviously want to upgrade a few things (like pads, lines, fluid) and most importantly, tires.

Agreed but stops from 150 is not normal street use. A buddy of mine also did a few high speed pulls and his brakes were smoking. There is a video of TurboR doing a few high-speed pulls and his brakes were absolutely useless for the last 70 miles an hour to zero. Scary stuff indeed.

Yeah, that is pretty scary. My stock brakes have done well up in the lower triple digit range so far but you're right, it would be much safer to have some nice tires/brake upgrades if you plan on hitting those speeds on either the street or track.

150 to 0 is not "street" use, it's not even "track" use. Those theories do not apply here. Next time you're at 150 get on the brakes hard, then do it again coming to a stop. Let me know what happens. Protip: give yourself much more room than you think you'll need.
