Yes yes, its fun. Going fast is fun. I just dont like it when the steering gets lighter or the car feels lighter especially on the highways. The car should get pushed down and steering tighten up reaching top speeds
Top speed

I had my white car maxed out back in the day, I have no idea how fast it was, I want to say like 130-135 maybe in a basically stock car with 4.10s. I had my little SRT4 maxed out back in the day, which was like 145-150ish, I know it went faster than the white car did and felt better than the GT did, FBO car. Fastest I've taken a car so far was the procharged C5 I had, it was up around the 170 mark and still had steam left but I don't think it would have crested 200mph and that was a car with 700whp. It might have but it felt too good at speed which is half the reason I shipped it down the road.
Big empty flat highways and being a dumbass can be fun.

I’ve gotten a ‘20 gT500 up to 120 on track. Sounded glorious.
I’ll be honest. On public roads these days. I let off the gas at 90mph.

I have been in my car anywhere couple of times where the speed achieved was in the 125 to 130 range. Profesional driver, closed track.
My brother was in the car twice when the speed exceeded 150. Once on road Atlanta and once on road America. Again, closed tracks, Profesional drivers. On road America they peged the speedometer. So, if you can trust that, they were doing 160 plus...

I had been following its development, how it starts as a Dark Horse essentially and is stripped all the way down to nothing, modified from the ground up at Multimatic Canada, and has probably some of the best suspension technology on the planet right now. And every piece of skin is carbon. It's an amazing car. It's worth the insane price. If I were rich, I'd get one.

Hell, 130mph has been my cruising speed for the last 9 years out here on the German autobahns. It's gonna be a real adjustment period for me when I have to get back to America in a few years.

Yeah, I haven't even got close to maxing my S550 out. Too expensive and too scared to try lol.
I am a slow poke...lol
Cdl keeps me honest.... I have had to keep one since I was 20 years old.

I was going to ask what a 2V, auto, 3.27 geared would get for top end, I think it would run out of Hp before RPM? I "heard" that it will get up to 120 not too bad but the acceleration slows down pretty dramatically after 115 or so. I realize that wind resistance is a square function and that is why but have not found a "closed course" to verify.
My '89 FZR600 with a Yoshimura pipe, filter and jet kit would hit 148. The road gets very narrow at that speed. Did it once. Was much younger.
