At what speed does it turn into a different ball game?
For instance, driving a boat, above 85 is a whole different feel and territory. It takes experience and time behind the wheel once you get over 85, as the pad is no longer in the water at all hardly.
There isn't an exact speed in my opinion where it just turns into a new "ballgame" its just a category of speed... For example, 130 mph in a straight line would be considered fast, and very controllable; add slight curves into the road and you have a different "ballgame" A personal example on a bike, 140 is fast, 150 is getting serious, 160 your never going to make a turn if anything comes out in front of you, 170 your heart is beating and ***** are growing, 180 you just **** yourself, 190 and beyond is just ludicrous speed. I hit 192 on the speedo of my R1, I had altered sprockets, etc.. so the error was right around 4% to 4.2% so my actual speed was probably 183-185 and I can tell you everything was a blur, my helmet was starting to rise, you had no concept of distance, and I was scared shitless.

Just my .02
Did you take into consideration of the amount it is already off from the factory?
Drove a nascar at Texas Speedway 10 laps, think they have em about 150, what a blast. Had my 74 280z at 135 it was maxed out, bout a 5 mile run. a 73 Transam 455 bout the same as the z. My current ZR only 115 so far chasing a crotch rocket.
didnt feel like i was going that fast tho. but was very fun driving on the homestead speed way
