Yeah I've been over 165 on the highway... use to wrap the 9R over 180 indicated all the time. I can't imagine 100 over that.

Ok just cause I can't imagine just means I want to try. Let's go!

I wonder if he had say like a 3-4 mile straight, how fast do you think he could get it to go? The busa sounded like it wasn't exactly wound out, too bad there wasn't a tach to look at.

Yep pretty much the same here on my 98 9R and my 93 ZX-11. I've only had the Vette up to an indicated 150 a few times and the R1 indicated 155. I guess I've slowed down a little in my old age ...can't afford to lose my license.

Now somewhere like this that you don't have to worry about your license and most likely nothing running out in front of you....Katie bar the door !!!

Of course in the back of my mind I'd be praying for no mechanical or tire malfuntions...and don't even get me thinking about a tank slapper.
