You are not alone. My car feels like a piece of **** after 120. I thought the windows were going to pop out. I did 140 with the top off and it felt way better, go figure. Not a very impressive blast if you ask me. My race car goes 160 and I can let go of the wheel through the lights with the parachute hanging out.

Umm, I think it's blurry because he (or someone) was taking a picture while he was driving 180 mph (notice his wiper stalk is blurry as well). Plus, his RPM's are a little high for 90 mph.

Hmmm, the MPH is very blurry. If it's a KPH photoshopped, good job, if you were really doing 160, you're crazier than me. IBTL.

I have run in the mid 150s at Pocono Race Track with street tires (130s in the rain at Watkins Glen) and I thought it was very stable. Next year with R compounds I should hit in the 160 range, but I would never do that on the road. My ***** shrink enough on the track
