yes the shift light is that red block that u see.. mines was set at 6,500. and VQ is nice

Are you nuts? It will be 100% worse than at 80. Ask yourself this question--you're on the freeway going 80mph. Would you rather be hit on your rear bumber by a car going 81mph, or 160mph? That's right--81mph
Said another way--would you like to park(completely stop) your car on the 405 and have a g35 slam into you from the rear at 80mph?
Why would you think your above comment on a blowout scenario at 160 vs 80would be equivalent? At 80, you are 100% better off than at 160.
I will assume you were speaking extemporaneously.

When the driver of the G was doing around 150 on his way to 160, did you see how long it took him to pass the cars on the right? I believe the leisuerly drivers on the right must have been going 140+. They must have some spectacular accidents on that road.
