    I've never been above 70MPH, as that's the posted legal limit in all of Louisiana.

    Ok Kelly, I will play along.

    I can tell you what 165 in the RS is like but that’s where my brain takes over and decides that it’s had enough.
    (Just so you guys know the 165 that I speak of was on the track and not a public road.)

    So what’s it like at 198 behind the wheel of a 599?

    I am sure we all want to see these pictures, you are holding out on.

    Geez, play nice. For the record, Kelly (and I) is blessed with a bone and belly structure that have an outsized negative impact on the power-to-weight ratio. :D

    Twice the cylinders of my car and you're going to use my sunroof as the excuse? For shame.
