I’ve gotten my ‘91 Miata up to 115 once. And that was all she had! The car still felt pretty stable at that speed, though.
BTW, I was on Interstate 5 north of Willows, CA when I did that. Since then I’ve gotten pulled over on that stretch (doing 83 in a 70mph zone in my wife’s car) and have learned they patrol it pretty heavily, in part because there’s a race track nearby. And coincidentally, when I got that ticket I was on my way there to go through an SCCA licensing school!
Showroom stock B? Or IT B?
I raced in F Production in the SCCA years ago.
When I drove that stretch a few years back I had to drive 100 to keep up with the traffic; well, a convoy.....no lie. It went on for about 15 minutes or so. At a point I backed off, thinking that we’d gone far enough.
After a few miles I went over a rise and there was the convoy, some twelve or so cars, all sitting on the side of the road with 4 HiPo cars all around them. The officers looked at me REAL HARD as I went past, but didn’t flag me over.
I figured an aircraft was involved in the deal.
