Default Re: Finally met my limit in this car...

Either way, too doggone fast for me until the C.O. Jones grow some more.

Needless to say, the Devil's Triangle and the Dragon are simply the most fun you can have while wearing your clothes.

Kim and I came through the Dragon at night on our way to the lodge, and almost bit it on Krudd Corner. Both front tires were simply pushing and no more traction was to be had. I went into that corner WAAAAYYY too hot. Lesson learned.
When i was bored today, i found the Speedometer App for my phone. It works pretty good. It's not instant obviously because it uses GPS but it will do it's job. I told my wife to check her jetta and she told me she was going 112. She didn't realize she switched it over to KPH lol.

Also, what does your car's tach read at 165?
