I wish my dad was as "cool" as some of those in this forum. I know he's going to be one of those bastards going 35 on 50 for sure.

I'm 17 and have gone 130.

I am 64 and top speed so far is the low end of 3rd gear...I'd guess 70mph.
My son and I have an Ultra Yellow '05 Track that so far has not seen the highway with me in it.However it has been to a few Solo2 events....that's all we use it for.

.......wow. there is a guy on this site (forgot his username) and his best 1/4 time was like 13.1 with a naturally aspirated engine.

I'm 53, & I've seen 140+. On a race track, of course! If I get the b*lls to take the kink at Road America in 3 weeks better, I should better that.

A good friend who owns a 350Z is north of 60, and he hit the speed limiter in his Z.

Old farts like speed too!

Haven't bought the Z yet. Still looking for the one I want.

Hit the speed limiter in my Integra 133 MPH was 48 at the time. Went faster in a Ford Pantera but that was in 1973 and I was 19 at the time so I guess that does not count.

Soon as I get the Z I will get it to a least 134 MPH so I am legit.
