In the Z 155mph at 1am one sunday night on a wide open stretch of interstate... God it was fun.
The scariest/fastest I've been was in a Grand National... This car would leave rubber at 60mph, and trapped over 180mph in the 1/4
... wasn't doing 180mph, but was hauling ***!
All i remember was seeing the boost gauge go to 28psi and it was just tunnel vision. For anyone that isn't familar with a GN, these cars handle like a boat and have even worse brakes stock. Not to mention this one had a drag suspension, no front sway bar, and was running on fats and skinnies with ETstreets!

131 digitally, late at night, no cars at all on toll road. I think I've satisfied my curiosity. What he said, too many things can go wrong and at that speed, yikes.
