If I am alone and the freeway is empty, I'd go a little fast.

You could easily use a RPM switch from MSD or similar. This would allow you to install a small, unobtrusive shift light.

Look at the Shiftlight. I've had them in two cars. One was hidden behind the A/C duct. Can't miss the LED light. Install was as easy as power, ground, rpm & signal. You set the rpm,...nothing else needed.

modaddict,
but how would that work cause the shifts are different from 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 etc,
u have to shift earlier on the 1-2 than the 2-3 cause the revs are climbing quicker

OMG
That would wake him up. I've had it happen 4 times. (but I was also trying to make it happen when I knew the tranny as on it's last leg) Getting a video for the board. They are probably still in the transmission section seomwhere.
60-70mph dump into second is scary enough. 140 into second would be nuts!
Darrin so did you bring a book to read while you waited from 130 to 148?
The auto is geared like chit, I bet they did it to make the MPG go up.

Or... go buy a gtech competition. It has a graphical RPM guage with rev limiter. It also needs no connections to the engine. Just power.

Unfortunatly I have done in in two different cls. My old cls sleeper the ride was a lot harder to just change one lane then in one thats dropped with 18s. The worst part was the windows being done. Either way changing lanes without losing control is the hard part.

Just doesn't feel very stable after 130mph. Yeah yeah it's not safe, I shouldn't do it blah blah blah. I should go to jail, I'm a bad driver, I'm unsafe, I know.

Your freaking nuts man. I know the area your talking about the turns are a little crazy for 140+ . Lucky nothing happened. Atleast it was the meadowbrook north i heardly see cops there but south of SS its crazy freaking vultures. and LIE is no better. Suffolk cops will eat u up for going 5 MPH over the limit they will prolly rodney king ur ass for doing that kind of speed. If they are video taping you from their dash and they tell theur partner to turn off the camera RUN!!!

Hasn't realized that driving is a privilege.
Darrin, wif you get busted, the right judge will suspend your license in MI or go on no violations until 21 or lose your license probation.

And hopefully he won’t take any innocent victims with him when/if it happens.
