I have enough HP and gearing to exceed 200mph (not the aerodynamics though) - but I lack the intestinal fortitude to go beyond 143.
Maybe one day...

There's a lot of fun to be had in the 0 to legal limit MPH range. Just because you don't want to go fast doesn't mean that you don't want to get to the speed limit quickly.
I think it was the great author Stan Lee, who wrote in Amazing Fantasy #15 (First Appearance of Spiderman), "With great power, comes great responsibility." Well, in the sports car world, "With great power, comes great acceleration." So, enjoy it! Responsibly!

What bothers me is how to get traction with more performance mods. Even with an automatic and the few mods I have, its way too easy to totally break loose the rear end any time you wish.
