That is what I am expecting. I want to see a MPH around 102-105 and I will be happy. My ZZ4 demon comes in today. So next time I go back every thing should be set up for the car. Those passes were made with the Road demon which is to small.

As long as you stay away from sticky tires and power-shifting, it's no different than the freeway on-ramps :D
