My friend that got a ticket for 147 in a 65 said he had extreme tunnel vision and that you couldn't even really concentrate on anything that was not directly ahead because by the time you looked at it, it was past.
What do the people that have broken the 140 mark think about the experience?

Be careful Justin, don't wanna read in the papers about a TL accident in Quebec! 
I think a true test of one's driving capabilities (and knowing the limits of one's car) is at the autocross. Keeping it safe for yourself and those around you is best.

Seeing how i couldn't pay attention to anyone coming on the freeway, or switching to the left lanes, i decided to calm down.

that'S the problem, it CANNOT be done on a track, or you would need a long ass track to reach those speeds with the TL, cuz over 120mph it doesnt accelerate very fast...

Justin, you crazy bastard. Haha. The best part is that you went that fast because you thought a cop was coming after you. You got balls on both counts, man! 
Take it easy, though. I've done some high speed runs, but doing it often will only increase the chances of something happening. Your car is too nice to wreck it. :thumbup:

distance wise, on a thread i put ~ month ago about our cars not having speed limiter, i talk about taking me close to 2.7miles to reach my top of 153mph. A track normaly has about a mile length...no i dont have pic
if you can, retrace your steps and estimate
