after 115 your driveshaft will shatter by the way
Not all driveshafts on the v6. I read something about how some are safe and some arent. You can look to see if some pins are in the drive shaft or something to know if it is safe. But i didn't really understand it

161 on a public road is a bit more than "fast"

Ive gone 125 in mine. I have no desire to go any faster, unless I have terminal cancer or something.
