Not really. It was floored and hovering at about 6200 rpm when it topped out. The ride was ok while I was in the gas, but like being on marshmellow when I started to slow down until I got down to 145 mph. I had a wing that provides 90 lbs of down force at 130 mph. I can imagine how it would be with a stock wing or no wing.

BUT, that was my experiance. It doesn't discredit you because you had a different experiance. Don't sweat it. We just like messin' with people. LOL

Oh I was just pointing out the clues that may have lead someone to realize I was not talking about an S197. Damn you have some brass balls, much props to you for pushing the car that hard!

Lol I agree in that you guys are definitely a lot braver than I am! I've gotten the car up to 120 but was too scared to go any further.

120 is a walk in the park, but as you get over 150 is when things start getting a little nervous and 170 plus either scares the heck out of you or gives you a huge rush....for me it did the latter!
