A few questions - did you take the pic when going 140+ mph? Not very smart! Going 140 mph on turns with only Tein S Tech springs? Not very smart times two! As E_K mentioned - take it to the track not on our roads.

I dont't know about turns but on a straight the car is pretty stable at this speed. I'm driving daily on the german autobahns (very often no speed limits) and right after I made the picture below I had to get on the right lane to let the 911 Turbo, who was cathcing up, pass me. I'm not saying I always drive at this speed, this was only to test the limiter, but generally the traffic is a lot faster here.

you wouldnt get a ticket going that fast you would just get thrown in Jail just to let everyone know. This statement is made from experience.

By the way the A1 and A8 aka autobahn has speed limits you can not go as fast as you want . In certain areas there is no speed limit but most keep it 100 to 140 KPH thats about 60 - 80. however if you are like me you take advantage of the sections which have no speed limit and go as fast as you can I got up to 165 MPH not in my G.

You're right WILD, as I wrote, there are often straights with no speed limit but not always. On A5 and A2 you'll find plenty of those
It's still nothing, however, compared to a few laps on the Nuerburgring -> after a lap on this track (21km) you feel like you've done 500km on a winding road. And the car probably ages the same mechanicaly. A very exhausting but exciting track.

Eddie23 - I remember seeing a documentary on the German Autobahn discussing the consistent road maintainence. They make the road as safe as possible for high speed driving. Unfortunately in California, the freeways are horrible.

Agreed, I'm 17, and as much as I want-- I would never go that fast on streets. To much can go wrong-- To many unknowns, I'm to smart to do something like that.. I'm waiting till I turn 18 and can take her out on a the track (plus i'll have some mods by then).

Nevertheless, rightously cool nice pic

I've only raced that track in video games, (Forza motorsports) But hell yeah, that thing goes on forever. you're lucky to race on such an awesome track.

Keep it off the streets guys, and onto the track!
We don't want to see anyone hurt.

Wow . . . Please be careful. I dread the day when I read about some young member on this forum involved in a serious accident. Fun is fun, but please use a bit of prudence and consideration.
