Well, I think many get up there and feel that it could go further, but that isn't the case. I have done a few 1/2 mile events with the car and have talked a lot with those that have done the 180-200+ runs in the 1 mile events. You need the horses to make it happen or a hell of a long flat calm stretch. Think about how hard you are working the car if it takes you 4 or 5 miles to take it up there. I have had some long runs on the interstates here. It is a great car to drive in those 140-145 areas, but it starts to work after that...
