dude.......are you insane ?? i mean, really........160mph, in a CONVERTIBLE.........185mph in the GTO ??? i want proof. and was the black Cobra still pulling, or just kinda, "stayed there" ??
Do you really need to ask Zeke[8D]...

The Black Cobra was still pulling, not all that strong though (more like jogging instead of running). I'll get you a video... Just give me acouple days for all the cars[sm=gears.gif]...

I've topped my car out at 165+. Speedo kind of stops around there. Just be careful topping your cars out because if your brakes are not up the task you could be in for a world of hurt.

What mods have been done?

ive had my car up too about 130ish. only one time ona cruise to see what it could do. there was still more pull left but 130 is plenty damn fast, and I dont really ever care to go that fast again until its my trap speed at the track

lol i'd suggest a video camera, trying to take a snap shot while going 190+mph not a good idear.

its fun to do once, then its out of your system and can wait 'til your next mod
