are you in a hurry to go kick that guy's ass?

there's no point of going anything over 100 mph unless you're on the tracks

also, going from 130-140 takes a long stretch of road, and I couldn't imagine going past 140...

eh, 125 isn't that bad - felt ok hehe

If you really want to know, see if a local dyno will let you rip it. Make sure your tires are rated for that speed.

Shit...I break 100 driving normal almost everyday on the highway. Its abad habit...I know. I've pinned the needle at 140 a few times too...racing wise I usually stop at 130 or so. 130-140 is slow as a slug.
