I own a car that is quite capable of reaching 200 mph. I have never gone above 145. That was briefly, didn’t even hit 6th gear. . Anything goes wrong, a bump, anything, and it is all over. I usually just like to see how quick it can get from zero to 50....

I have ridden in a Chevell SS/375hp 396 multiple engine upgrades so actually way more than 375hp/Bilstein shocks/VR Rated tyres. Speedometer went to 160 and it was pegged to the backside of the “0” pin so not sure what We were actually doing. On Hwy 290 outside of Austin chasing down someone who was going to Houston. It was daytime. Didn’t feel like We were going that fast but after glancing out the window for a few seconds We were HAULING A$$ !!!
