Opened 'Er Up!

Last night on the way home from work, traffic was light, so I decided to open 'er up. Had the camera with me so snapped this as she topped out.

Sorry for the blurry photo, she was shak'n just a wee bit. Could be I need an alignment or wheel balance.

Yeah, it really shakes it up when those gauges sweep when you turn the car on.

It could be real guys...if he had just turned on the ignition key like you say, the ABS and check engine lights would be lit. Rev limiters can be easily adjusted. It all depends on what he has under the hood and how much drag his car exhibits at those speeds, although since he doesn't list what mods he has it does smell a bit fishy.

I've been 160+ and there's no way I'd be snapping a damn pic of my IPC at that speed, let alone on a Highway with "light traffic"....

But he didn't post a pic of his nads either...
