I did that once........ then I figured out that the cars stock suspension and brakes weren't built for that speed. Gotta love it though when it bounces off the peg and then stays solid on it.

Probably why he was going so fast. Trying to hurry up and get to the station before he runs out.

I can tell you that was not on a dyno. It was on US Highway 90 betweem FM 2100 and Beltway 8 near Houston,Texas.

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.
