Be careful out there. I have a place where I can get mine up to 145. But the first time I was surprised at the brakes. I'm used to it now but I am going to put bigger brakes on my car.

I really like how it kind of hunkers down and keeps on rolling. That little wing really does work.

I had mine up to about 138, feels like a different car at that speed. And it does feel like it has more..

Wow, 10 miles is really far to be maintaining that speed... I've gotten up to about 140, but that was for MAYBE 2 miles including acceleration time. I was drafting a 2011 Charger R/T the whole time but started inching on him and didn't want to get too close so I let off. The air makes an amazing brake all on it's own going that fast.

I have had mine at 160 MPH and Crumpy's Srt coupe at almost 200. too scared to look.
Based on the Speedo only.

The wing really does work on the NA and I never felt on the edge at all. 200MPH in the coupe was steady, but there I did feel a bit of my @ss over the abyss.


Brakes????????????????

Are you kidding?
Never touch the brakes at those speeds.

First, it is too dangerous and second they are not built to stop you more than once or twice from those velocities.

I didn't dare touch the brake pedal. I was just surprised how quickly the car decelerated on it's own due to wind resistance.

Kewl. These cars are heavy for their size. I think it may contribute to the stability. Nothing at all flimsy in these rockets!
