Do you ever come upon a straight, empty stretch of asphalt and just hammer the livin bjesus out of your car just for the grin production?

Sometimes I just can't help myself.

Sure do! Oh yes. And especially when my granddaughter next to me (she's now an adult) says...."Let's do this one more time!".

I have, but those open empty stretches of road don't happen very often around here.

Opened my C2 up to its top speed of 137 one night at 2 AM on a straight empty road just at the city limits.

Never got any of my C6s over 125.

Hypothetically yes.


Hypothetically, I'm coming off the clover leaf, and breaking the "good day ( 100 mph) mark.
