One time I drove 150 MPH with a high ranking police officer in the passenger seat. He had his gun and badge with him... I consider that "legal" ...

You live in Columbus, Ga. That tells us where. Out on I-85 where there was nothing but you and the truck drivers.

Default How is this?
183 mph with the previous motor.
Over 150 mph, over 100 times.
Over 120, almost everyday for over a year.

All on private property or a track of course.

May ship this car to Europe. Will take a video on the track in Germany and on the autobahn. Thinking 225 m.p.h. with NOS and stiffer springs. Need at least a two mile straight.

Have C5R Hood, rear spoiler, T-1 bars, Coil-Overs, etc.
Nuff said. Nuts. Do you have to ask?

155mph. Never again though. The thought of wiping out at that speed scared the bejesus out of me.
