With only those mods, I think you'll hit a ditch or a tree or a family long before you hit 125. Your car has that limitEr for a reason. You have no reason and no place to safely go that fast, nor the equipment to live if something goes wrong.
Quickness is more fun than top speed anyway, what can you do in a car at 125? I havemore fun taking slaloms and hairpins on an SCCA course at 40 than I ever could have at 125mph.

jeez little harsh there buddy

But I know I didn't think of the reprecusions[sic?] when I was doing it, until I saw first hand what can happen. That's why I try to curb the illegal stuff, espescially on an open forum like this where younger people will see it and try to imitate it.
I have qualified with several licenses in SCCA which makes properly trained to race road courses wuth other driveres on the track. It's hard and it's scary, and even in the professional world waaaaaay above my skill level, stuff goes wrong all the time.
Dying and getting hurt isn't fun for you or the other people around you that have to deal with, so at least try to be as safe as possible, keep it at the track.
I'm not trying to be an *******, I just don't want to see me, you or someone I know get hurt because someone THOUGHT that they had control.

Yeah I know, but I have to be harsh for a topic like this, or others will try to repeat the same thing and someoneWILL get hurt. I go out to street races all the time, I go just to hang out, and I don't really like the whole illegal racing scene, even though in my younger days, I did do it. Once you watch a few friends die because of someone elsebeing stupid, you start to see why street racing isn't so cool anymore.
