If you wreck at 200mph, you've got much bigger issues than paying for the car.

 

doing 150 with the top down is quite a thrill, but hitting a bump at 145 and leaving your seat is not something i'd like to repeat.

 

157 fastest so far.


but i avg around 105 on the freeways daily.

 

Shark: 65 is brutal!!!! How can you drive so slow???? You may as well be a pylon

Josh: Wear a seatbelt next time

 

I was, but it was a big bump

 

What did you use to clean the seat afterwards

RT could well be right about the spacers!! Either that or you're driving on some very poor roads.

 

With stock diameter tires the rev limiter would hit just before 170. My speedo is at least 4% fast at speed as are many others. Given that the poll is probably a bit exaggerated, and I would guess that even with wind and grade over a true 160mph is rarely seen. As a group we are less reckless than it appears.

 

125MPH on my way to NOPI Nats. on the East leg of the Power Tour with a group of ricers I had just met. Picture the street race scene from Fast & Furious but now add 9AM commuters, 10 cubic feet of luggage packed in a 5 cubic foot trunk, top down, 3 hours of sleep.
Sometimes I get carried away with myself.

 

I have not had my current one on the track yet, so I fall into the bottom 3.6%...
