I think I've maxed myself out at 120 and I was scared enough then lol. Unless I'm on a deserted airstrip... I'll pass hahaha

i know i'm gonna get told im dumb for this, but here it goes.
the fastest i've ever been was ~145 street racing the built 5.0 cobra i killed. i was so comfortable at the higher speeds it wasnt funny. all i knew is that i had to win, and if i got nervous it wasnt going to happen, so i pushed and pushed to 145 and came out with a W

Hey, we all have done dumb ****. I could see someone doing 160 or 200mph ONCE or whatever, but doing it a few times or more is just asking for trouble. So the car was completely stable at 145? No shaking, no rattles, nothing?

Took mine to 145 two weeks ago and it wasnt even close to max. I wanted to go faster, but I only run 27 psi on my nitto DR's out back and was a bit nervous to go any faster. I got to that speed pretty good too and pulled pretty easily.

looking at your mods I'd expect you to top at out at stock terminator speeds or higher which I hear is about 180mph[8D]
