    Just thought I would share a picture and the results of our trip to Bonneville last week.
    We managed to set a new record for our class at over 275 mph. Which I think makes this the worlds fastest basically stock bodied car.

    Sounds like too much fun.
    What tires hold up to those speeds?

    Well done!

    I've ridden shot gun at 217 and that was fast. I honestly can't even imagine what 275 must be like. Congratulations! Any chance you'll tell me the serial number of the fastest Ferrari in the world?

    275 on the Bonneville salt flats probably feels slower than lane splitting on the 405 at 70 :)
