Ive hit mine like 5X, but I dont like to run into it accelerating so hard, so I let off at 155mph or so to avoid that. It stops my car at 159mph indicated on the digi speedo.

I wonder if LVPD might be able to set something up for us guys every three months or so. Is it possible? I'd do the work to back it. We might get some people into Vegas on the idea too. Just a thought.

We might even be able to get a ambulance and have some helmet rules etc....

I know about the salt flats .... but, hard top is what I'm talking about here.

Aren't there a few public roads in Montana that have no speed limits during the day? I wonder if it is truly unlimited, or if you could still get pulled over for something like unsafe driving, etc.?

160 all day in my '07. Its weird, Ive had cars that shut off the fuel at a certain speed, but in my Z it hits 160 and it holds there. I am going to be shipping it back to the states tomorrow and wont get the chance to see how far I could push it after a reflash...

"Reasonable and Prudent" went away about ten years ago. Once again, MT does have a "numerical" speed limit. Everywhere. All roads. All the time.

I so want to move to Heidelberg, Germany. I love that place to visit. How is it to live there? US Military ???

Or, my next favorite Innsbruck, Austria.

Heidelberg is cool, I like it here. I hate to leave, but I have been here 4 years and its time I get back to the states. Austria is beautiful but very expensive, and I think they have speed limits on all the roads.

Imagine being the guy that got the biggest speeding ticket ever issued: 242 Mph in a 75 Mph zone. Issues in West Texas. (I don't even see how you could get caught at that speed :O)

You should be doing this on a closed circuit unless you are a royal ******* or live in the middle of nowhere.

My top speed on track is around 130 at SP Main.
