I had fun today!
Well I went to visit my brother today, he lives about 130 miles from me so I don't see him to often. On the way home, I came upon a long open section of roadway. So I did want any speed lov'en, ZR1 driving male would do...I floored it!
I started off at about 30mph but quickly reached 100mph. I was still far from the end of the road, so I pressed on. The beast was roaring, my speedo reached 135mph and the ZR1 was still wanting me to push her harder, but the road was coming to a soft curve. I gently backed off, made the curve at 93mph then settled back down at 65mph.
What a blast, I just had to share.

They get up to 120 & 130MPH in a matter of a few seconds. 
I've not cracked the 150MPH and beyond yet as there's too much traffic in my area.
Guess I'll have to find a track somewhere because I wouldn't do those speeds on the public highways.

150mph was my target, but I was plenty happy with with 130mph. Now the only thing is, I want to drive fast more often!
