Dude...stop...seriously.

First, none of those mods are going to get you anywhere close to your 175 mph. Add an extra 300-400 hp and maybe...MAYBE you could give it a try...but I would not recommend it.

For instance, when Shelby was doing tests of the GT500, it took them multiple laps to attain 171 mph. Getting beyond that takes a TON of money.

Your mom's grocery getter with a fart can and some stickers isnt going to go 175, or 150..not even 140. MAYBE 125-120, which is confirmed by automag testing.

I have been following my old man to tracks for forty years now and know what it takes to get a car up past 150...sadly, I must call BS on your story.

Let us just imagine that you hit 125 and the spedometer was 50 mph off (ok, that is a stretch, but bear with me)...wake the hell up! If you want to live to see 18...slow the hell down. If you do not value your own life, have some consideration for everyone else. There are two ends to repeated street racing (especially at 175 mph): a) you die b) you go to jail. Pick one.
