I wouldn't feel safe going past 120 on "closed" streets anyway.

Nah, going to those speeds are just not smart. Unless you're on salt flats, I think it's just too much.

well, 1 has a 1300whp Z06, another has attempted 160+ in his single T supra ~1krwhp, a bunch of bikes do...1 BB fox with a 103mm turbo on a 545 has tried.... i've personally done 151, an wanted MORE...there are a few M5's that will run up there an M3 a few AMG's....it varies

there are cars here that will do better than 200, but will never see a paved anything other than a garage floor or driveway.

Yea, unless you have a viper, zr1, and some other high end cars or highly modified cars, I don't think we can reach those speeds. I wouldn't want to anyway, unless it's a COMPLETELY safe area.

It's not that bad, but wouldn't take the car any further. I just don't feel comfortable enough
