Well, I guess i should be sitting here in awe, but your stupidity overshadow's your greatness.
True, your car is an awesome machine that could put mine to shame, but your judgement, in gentle term's, could use improving.
Now come's the part where you can tell me you have the reflexes of a fighter pilot, that you were being carefull and knew what you were doing.

Nice
I've been above 190 over a dozen times, almost 2 dozen, and it NEVER gets old
Got a question for ya . . . did your windshield vibrations create audible harmonics? I've done 19x mph with and without pop-up lights and my windshield vibration decreased with non-pop-ups.
Edit: if you haven't already, change your injectors and fuel pump. Holding WOT at max load for the length of time necessary to reach those speeds on stock injectors causes you to go dangerously lean. Your duty-cycle is maxed out, so you need to upgrade squirters.

Ummm...wow, I've got 160 with no cars whatsoever and I was scared shitless. I need some bigger ***** I guess. I haven't even hit top speed yet. I know it's only like 174 or something but I wanna get there just to get there. Awesome run, wish my car could do that.

At extremely high speeds you don't wanna hit the brakes right away. If aggressively applied, you could inadvertently swing the rear end around . . . this would be bad.
190 . . . 200 mph . . . slowly lift off the throttle and allow the tremendous wind resistance to slow you. Then I'd recommend applying serious throttle at 175 or so; with aggressive brake application at 160
I like allngn c5 . . . we have the same psychotic illness
