That car handles awesome under high speed it feels real secure around 140, so with the KYBs set to 8 I see no reason the aerodynamics wouldn't take effect and hold the road tight

lol i was in 5th gear, 6th gear wont pull lol. i need like 500hp for 6th to pull i think, but the rest is all correct there!

Some of you folks must remember, if you dont already know, rt 55 is a freeway, 2 lanes in each direction, big grass median. great for excessive speed in some parts. i do this once in a while, on good weather days only; i know what parts of the road are good and bad. I dont go hucking myself at high speeds if theres traffic, or if i see something in the road ahead. my tires are Z rated, my suspension is very good. it does not float, it stays tight and straight.
Also, Remember this- I didnt go posting about how smart/safe it is to do 170mph, so no need to argue, or tell me how stupid and dangerous it is, i already knew that before i went over the speedlimit
Even in the most controlled situations, ***** happens.
You only live once; My day will come when it is time.
