I'm very surprized at how often I do 70mph on the highway, it seems as if the car is made to go faster but I dare not!

The legal speed limit on our highways is 70mph which is 10mph faster than what the experts warned about if a human were to go faster than 60mph, or your face gets ripped off.

It takes a big pair to dare the experts and risk it all over 60mph, but so far I still have my face.....could they have been wrong? I'm sure that first test subject really put up a fight when they strapped him down in the seat, THEN told him they were gonna exceed 60!

That was my first thought also. That said, I almost had mine to 64, but the limit was 65 so I backed off.

I got mine to almost 59 the other day. Wonderful how fast these things go.

But I was on the track.
