130 the other day in Austin on Southwest Parkway. I was racing an 05' Acura TL at about 2m with very little traffic on the road.

I heard in some rural states that there was no speed limit. I googled it and found out this.

It is a myth that Montana had no speed limit from 1995 to 1999. In fact, Montana just had no numeric daytime speed limit. It still had a "basic rule" in effect requiring that all speeds be "reasonable and prudent", and the night speed limit was 65 MPH or 55 MPH, depending on road type. Speeding tickets were still written both day and night.

For four years, Montana had a "reasonable and prudent" speed limit during the daytime on most rural roads. However, the police enforced an approximately 90 mph (140 km/h) speed limit as "reasonable and prudent" at this time. This action was considered to be unconstitutional due to the vague nature of the "reasonable and prudent" laws. Thus, for the last half-year of non-numerical speed limits there was no enforced speed limit. In June 1999, a Montana law went into effect whose practical effect was to require posted limits on all roads and disallow any limit to be posted higher than 75 mph (120 km/h).

And also this for people in Texas

In 2001, the Texas Legislature allowed the Texas Department of Transportation to post 75 mph (120 km/h) speed limits in counties with fewer than 10 people per square mile[3]. This has the practical effect of only allowing 75 mph speed limits in the most sparsely populated counties, all of which are generally well west of a line stretching from San Antonio to Odessa. In 2005, the Texas Legislature revised this law, allowing 80 mph (130 kmh) limits on I-10 and I-20 in certain rural counties in west Texas[4]. This law also revised the eligibility for 75 mph speed limits: now eligible counties can have up to 15 persons per square mile.

Texas law does not disallow 75 mph speed limits on two-lane roads. Several west Texas 2 lane roads carry 75 mph limits, including portions of US 90[5]. No other state has a limit higher than 70 mph on any 2 lane road.

I-20 between Duncanville and Mesquite (DFW area), has some great places for speeding and getting caught

Hit 135mph somewhere between there, also have avoided 10+ possible tickets by being a smart speeder (if there's such a thing).

144 on the Bayside highway. Geewillikers is a wuss. There are plenty of places to "open er up" so to speak.

Since this seems to be a healthy gathering of Texas folks ... I have a question.

Is there anyone in Austin that can tune my ride? I hear a good ECU tweak will help me utilize all my bolt-on's.
