My friends and i found out about this place here in CA called El Mirage.
Its a Dry Lake bed which is smooth and your allowed to drive on it.
There is no speed limit!

Me and my friends are headed out there this weekend to see what our cars can really do.

Me- White V6 stang with the mods in my sig.

F150 with a roush supercharger
2001 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra

and my friends uncle might bring out his SRT 10 Dodge VIPER

Yeah be careful! That is not gonna really stable stuff so I am assuming that make sure to brake really early if you have to also make sure to keep distance between everyone... also.. Can I come? HAHA.. Where is this at?

You'll prolly break light speed with that much room! Watchout man don't forget not to breathe during the crossover!!

But srsly like 140 prolly

lol yeah im thinking of calling the guinness book of world records because i really think i have the fastest car in the whole world! lol

thanks for the heads up. After each run, the guys said we should just chill, let our cars cool down. My friend is thinking about bringing a mini grille so we can eat and stuff lol

That's an excellent idea! Grilling Ftmfw! Actually u might b able to break 140 idk, with all my mods minus the 3.73 (so 3.31) I reached a rather contraversial 148 acording to my average speed thing and constantly pressing reset. Altho it was optimum conditions, sea level, 50 degrees, 80% humidity, 30mph tail wind, down hill like a 20 dagree slope,
3am

Goodluck, have fun, be safe!
