That was the fastest I have ever been in any car. (Looking at the picture) I was in 4th gear @5000 RPM and 155 MP and I think it was still pulling.

Definately agree with you there.
Otherwise I think that if we get anything out of this is seeing just how accurate those stock RPM o'meters are compared to speed/gearing.

Had mine buried at 155 for about a minute or so. If I had to guess I would say about 170 mph. I had good tires, divided highway with no one out (don't want to put anyone elses life in danger). Only did it once. Wouldn't take my eyes off the road for a 1/10 of a second. Going that fast is extremely dangerous.
