yeah in my small town we have a few straight highways that are never patroled... one is about 3-4 miles long and straight all the way, the other is about 8 miles long, but after about 3 miles of being totally straight it starts to get very hilly...
tops ive had mine was 108 and the fuel shut off... thought about getting a programmer or a tune for it, but then again when will i ever need to go over 100 anyway?
fastest ive been in a car though was 155 in my friend's 04 gto... took forever to get there, and probably wasnt the smartest thing to do, but i guess you make those stupid decisions when you are young

163 in my car with just LTs, verified with radar gun. Of course I still had overdrive then. haha Though now I am thinking of setting my car up for the mile. I would like to do it once.
