Default Saw 180 on the speedo yesterday!
Well, I finally made it to 180 MPH yesterday between Amarillo and Lubbock. What a rush!! If there werent cars, I was shooting for the advertised 186, but had to let off.....passed a car at 160 after i let off ....he came racing up to me about 20 miles later giving me huge thumbs ups!!!

That's a great road for it. Parts of it are so straight and empty that it's really boring at the speed limit.

i was clocked by a lubbock police officer @ 163 racin a z28... he wasnt too happy but it was 5 am with no traffic so he bitched me out and let me go... thats the fastest i've gone in my car.... on my bikes however i pegged the 186 limit i dunno how many times(prolly closer to 175 thanks to them being off from the factory)

Ive done somewhere around 178-185 in my Z06, was really too fast to get an exact reading from the speedo. Wish my 01 had HUD. Still pulling pretty hard also.....
