I drove my car one time at Blue Ridge Parkway from Southern Virginia to Tennesse at 138 mph. I thought it was fast, but no, it feels like driving 90 mph in a stable sedan!!! No cops. Off course you guys don't want to make it too obvious, or be in high profile highway like I90. You can always drive it in Montana with no speed limit. I heard someone in the club here at 86 years old drove his 550 in Montana at 197 mph, almost max speed of 550, just 2 more mph!! Message for you DES: stop dreaming, get real!!! | ||

i've never seen 145mph before, but i've taken my car into turns at 90-100, before... i wish i knew what those turns looked like, that you were on, so i could compare how i'm doing to how Ferrari owners are doing... You always think you're good at something when you're pushing the envelope doing it, thinking you're right on the edge, then someone blows by you... Damn, this is such crap, i need to be in a car, on a track...! | ||

Hey doc! Where did you guys go to get up to those speeds and avoid the state troopers? I lived in Seattle for many years before coming to Hong Kong. | ||

145 mph on the straight road and 100 mph on winding curves. It is enough to make someone hard on!! | ||
