Took mine up just over 140 mph on the way to Vegas. Car felt awsome at that speed, but the brakes don't work that great at 140 mph. Took awhile (at least 4 blocks) to get the car back down under 100 mph safely, no way I would slam on my brakes at that speed..

Topped out my 350 at 150mph. Scary stuff, 1 lane, no street lights what so ever, 7 mile road, about 11:30pm, canal on both sides of the road. And yeah, i know it was dumb.

That's insanely fast. I barely got myself to 140 today and was already scared about cops even though I have a Bel STI.
