RE: Your fastest?

sorry for the blurriness- it's hard to hold a camera still at 150+ This of course was ona closed and controlled track. But seriously it was a stupid idea and I will NEVER do it again. These cars are very unstable above 125+ and were never designed for high top speeds.

RE: Your fastest?
I've hit 120-125 numerous times just passing people on single lane highways.
So 125 is the fastest I've gone. Haven't found a safe place to try any higher yet since I moved to the Portland area. It's not quite like where I grew up in IA, where I could just hammer it out in the country somewhere all by myself on a backroad. This place sucks, it's WAY too busy everywhere.
...I'd have to say though at 120/125 she is as stable as a rock. Ride is as smooth as can be and I don't feel one bit nervous at all.

130 racing a Silverado on I-75. he cut me off[:@], so i passed him and he both kept going. after I was a good 4 car lengths ahead I let off because I cant afford a felony charge for doubling the speed limit! hahaha
...but, of course, street racing is BAD and I never do it unless provoked.
