I didn't actually smoke anyone this time, but on a long, empty stretch of highway early last Sunday, I did tip my speedo a touch past 160. It was 37 degrees out, great horsepower weather, and I waited on the side of the road until I got a hole in traffic over a mile long. It's a 93 R1 with a straight pipe and barely modified airbox, stock boost, etc. And my God, was it smooth. Next years project: the in-car camera.

Thats all cool but remember to be carefull going that fast with other cars on the road. I've had mine up to around there racing a Ferrari 360, but it was around 2am and almost no one on the road. And yes, I won.

Did I not mention that I was in an empty spot in traffic, or that I am not a blithering idiot?

Ferrari 360 Modenas aren't that fast. The run around a 12.8 at best in the 1/4, only a little faster than a c5 vette.
