Did a top end run on the turnpike today ...

Well not really a top end run .. i brought it up to 130 no problem at all, it was still going strong. I feel it could def keep goign to 155.

It jut wanted to keep going but i was scared that there would be a cop lol. BTW this was ona closed highway ... there were rails on both sides and no cars around

Its all fun and games until someone gets hurt. I've done the same thing on the turnpike but, you just need to be very careful. Be safe bro, enjoy!

I can just imagine what a tranny lockup at 130 MPH would look like...

But seriouslly im not stupid enough to do something like that, my friend was following me down to get my tranny fixed and we had swapped cars aroun fort pierce (halfway between orlando and ft lauderdale) cause he wanted to see what it felt like when the transmission crapped, so of course i had to give it a little go lol
