and his other point about avoiding 4 accidents because of experience doesn't really hold water either. it's like an amazing hockey goalie that makes 4 spectacular saves in a game. while those saves were impressive, they shouldn't have happened because the defense should have prevented it. you are not an experienced driver, bumblebee.
Ummm i might be blind or something because i cant find where i said i was a very experienced driver...? Good try A for effort

The fastest I've gone in my AP2 is probably 115mph. In my AP1 maybe 130? One night after hitting the bars my brother was DDing me in the AP1 and we hit 145mph indicated with the top down. Pretty fun when you're drunk. All done at night, never with any cars around(at least that's how I remember it for the later run).

I have almost no desire to go faster than the top of 4th in my AP2, and I rarely go that fast.

Here's that Supercharged AP1 doing a top speed run, looks to be around San Diego:

I had mine up to around 140 once and lets just say that after that experience I have no desire to go that fast in this small wheel base car anymore. The rear gets very light at high speeds...(115-120+)
Once you hit that 110 mark the balance goes all to hell.
