probably 110, at a road course, I have gone faster in my Legacy GT but that's only because it's more disposable to me

I’ve seen 180 and it scared the beejesus out of me. Its not too bad looking forward, but I sailed under a bridge on I65, looked in my rear view mirror and it took my breath away at how fast that bridge got small !

One-forty something for both the Verts. Only about one-twenty-ish for the Z06. Not sure why I never pushed it.
