Nice vid, thanks for posting.
It's not advertising to say something good is good... especially if you're not profiting from it. 
I'm a happy owner of a pair of GoPro HDs myself.

Looks like fun. I can confirm the F will do 170 in 6th gear... And then it will stop accelerating. Silly electronic speed limiters. ;-) lol I'm having the Borla catback installed right now as I type this... I'm excited to have a civilized exhaust that's not sceaming "look at me" when you aren't trying to draw attention. I'm glad to hear that you like it.

Yeah the IS-F seems to be tuned for high speeds. The steering feel and handling are both better the faster you go it seems...Im not saying take a hairpin turn at 180 mph lol but you know what i mean

Great Vid... I was so close to signing up for the Texas Mile this year.
Question.. with your 100 octane race fuel..it didn't harm anything? Also, how fast do you think you could have gone with premium 93?

No....it doesn't hurt anything whatsoever. It helps the car from pulling timing...especially in the higher RPM's. No sure what it would have ran on 93...but would have been close to the same.

Been checking the site every day (http://mojavemile.com). Guess they're a little on the slow side for posting. Hopefully soon!
