The highway is split with a thick tree line in the center, no one was in front or behind me, it was dry, it was daylight, I was alone, and I had not pushed the G yet. 150, smooth as hell, no vibrations, the road was a blur. I'm probably lucky I didn't hit a deer, but I had to push it once.

Castro - what stretch of 84 was this? Sounds like either between exit 18 & 19, or could be near the Newburgh Beacon Bridge too..... I grew up in Carmel, so I'm familiar w/ that area a lot. Where you from man?

I was waiting for someone to say that, lol. Us downstaters as some of you call us tend to call anything from Westchester above 'upstate'. I'll try to minimize that in the future unless I'm referring to Buffalo or somthing like that.

Not with the High Rev motor. My car starts MOVIN after 80! It's a strong pull in my car. My buddy had an '04 coupe all modded out and he was hawlin a$$ so I had to play catch up. It was pretty easy considering all I had was a z tube at the time. Now with the Stillen intake.....that B!TCH HAULS A$$!!!

Coming back from Vegas, going east toward Kingman, about 8am and about 5 to 10 miles past the dam, no cars, long flat straight road for approx 50 miles, I had it up to 143 MPH, before my judgement kicked in. I remembered anything 20mph over the speed limit was criminal, and I thought "I am sooo far above that, I would be under the jail" and backed off.
