    Rob, You didn't think you could make a statement like that and not get any arguments , did you? Maybe you should tell them about the previous owner of Rene's car? Or at least post the pic of the Speedometer.

    You speaking of "tear-away" undies, as they say at the track? I do have a LifeStar Nomex flight suit a flight nurse at the hospital gave me. Also a Simpson helmet I guess might get more use of soon. Maybe I’ll replace the tiny “No Fear” sticker on the back w/ a mini prancing horse one.

    I just did 140 at 1600hrs today in my 360 top down. I've had her up to 160ish. I live out in the country and always clean my plugs EVERY time I
    take her out! The country roads are a bit twitchy to say the least: I feel comfortable up to 130-140. At 150 my comfort and sphincter levels cross.

    Why, the fastest I've ever had my 308 is 60 MPH. I'm hoping to find a freeway soon with a speed limit of 70 or better so I can "wind her out". (Actually in all honsesty the state trooper said I was doing 62MPH!!)

    140 MPH indicated in 456 GT (with mis fire on one bank of cylinders!) and 190 MPH in 575M both on european motorway (not UK where you are likely to get a speed camera installed at the end of your driveway!) and both felt absolutely stable and capable of more but I didnt!

    140mph in my 308 and Boxster S, 152mph years ago in a friend's Corvette with another buddy a mile ahead on a Ninja bike with CB watching for cops. If he was keeping up with us on his bike, that speed is pretty scary to think about.

    Hit 7100rpm in 5th in my 308gts on I-25 near the Wyoming/Colorado border a couple years back-it was still accelerating verrrry slowly-140-ish?? Very smooth-very little wind noise or sensation of terror...
