none of them are around here, i wouldnt suggest doing over 65 on ANY roads near my house. even the local highway is so crowded its hard to do 75.
here in south texas..the new expressway 77 was all redone. real nice road, all level and no probs on it. i took my 96 gt auto up to 140 MPH once..didnt feel the speed, before gear change to 4.10 that i plan to do. real nice, however its easy to see if something small goes wrong..that is it.

What rd were you on? I was there too... a lot of nice fast cars leaving there but not many going fast, there was a saleen behind me for a while and we werent going over 75 because I knew there was going to be a lot of cops around.

I agree, usually on public roads I'll shut down before 80, maybe 90 on the higways if the roads are totally clear. I'm actually scared to death though of being pulled over at that speed though.

Yeah well pennsylvania is gay and the highways are all 55mph, except the turnpike thats 65mph.. thats why i rather not push my luck since theres cops 24/7 on both sides the highway because the damn ricers were racing all night on it for awhile there.

**** where i live the 6 am work rush...the flow of traffic is 90-100 mph on hwy 459 and 59 coming into the city in the morning in groups of 10-15 cars

if you are going 80 mph you will get run the **** over.

saying this from personal experience, if you pass a cop sitting still while going 140+ mph he's probably not going to ever see you again if you just keep going(they never did see me again 5+ times)

True..Happened once the only reason i got away was because of traffic on the opposite site of the road tho, but i wasnt going that fast only about 70 75 in a 45
