Not to encourage stupidity off a track/racing course, but the sedan seems to work pretty well at the speeds I have gone. It gets a little flighty around 128-135, but then balances out really nice over that at least to 144. Of course my experiences over 130 were with the underpanel from MI installed so I am sure that helped a great deal

60 MPH on the way home from the dealer yesterday - be careful out there people. Speed is what will hurt you before the size of the car. Please be safe

As long as they only kill themselves I don't have a problem with it, as I believe in someone wanting a Darwin award they should be allowed to have it. Hopefully the smarter ones will survive.

Can we just lock the thread now, I doubt anyone else has hit 140+. Thread won.
