WOW...What a rush. That is the fastest I have ever been in a car. Of coarse it was in a 750 horsepower Winstin Cup car. I got to drive a stock car around Lowe's Motor Speedway with no one else in the car but me. I cannot even explain the feeling. Running about 6.3/k rpms in the back stretch and around 5/k rpms in the turns. It was like a roller coaster....The G's were incredible.
Lets just say I am lucky I did not getting a speeding ticket driving my TLS home that night. Not 160 but I ran the heck out of it on I-85.

Yeah, one of my college football teamates is on a winston pit crew and he told me had they let me get 9/k rpm in the stretch I would have hit 195mph(not safe for my skill, would have wrecked)
But it does make want to get more and more power from my car (with out buying a corvette)
If the supercharger was less money or more power I would get it. I actually had the orderform filled out one day but talked myself out of it.

I know exactly how you felt, I had the opportunity last year driving a Winston cup car at Daytona. I was able to go a bit faster than you did (around 170 at the turn, Hitting 190 at the end of the front straight) since Daytona is 2.5 mile track. The G-force is amazing, it scared the crap out of me during the first few laps.

ferrizo- I played at Va Tech..
TLs2003.... I would have loved to have driven @ Daytona. NICE. It was an awesome experience. It took a couple of laps to relax all the way though the turn.

i took my TL out there, its so much fun, but car feels a little funny on the turns..??? i wonder y.i hit past 160 i know 4 sure. if any1 wants 2 race this car or get more power, take the govener out. (acura this is pittiful NEVER EVER PUT A GOVERNENER IN ANOTHER TL EVER AGIAN)

I'm thinking of doing the Richard Petty Experience at LMS. They supposedly let you drive 160mph on the track. Sounds like fun.

Question: Shayne, where in Charlotte did you get your work done? How about the video - NAV conversion?
