x01660 - Could you get rid of the video in your sig? It is killing my page load times.
Be really careful about running on public roads like that. Even if they are deserted. If a coyote or other desert critter were to cross in front of you, it would definitely not turn out well for you, your car, or the critter.
It would be far better to go to a local track when they have a test and tune day. Additional benefit would be they normally have a wrecker and emergency crews there in case of something bad happening.

Every once in a while i like to push her to her limit and ive gotten around 155 and shes smooth as ever all i have for suspension upgrades is some kyb shocks...road choice is important tho i had to pass someone at about 145

Yup...
"Joe Gibbs Racing driver Brad Coleman was testing a Gibbs NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car at Toyota Arizona Proving Grounds earlier this week and came onto the radio and told his crew something rather unusual.
"Guys, I hit a coyote," Coleman said.
Coleman was running close to 200 mph around the 10-mile test track when he saw the animal wander under the outside guardrail.
"I'm in the middle of the corner, and I'm doing like 190," Coleman said Friday at Nashville Superspeedway before practicing his Nationwide Series car. "I'm just cruising. You run the high line there, because that's where the most banking is. It's the high-speed lane. There's just a guardrail there like on the freeway.
"I see this thing, it must've been 100 feet in front of me, just jump out. Right when I saw it come out from under the guardrail, I was like, 'That's a coyote.'"
"It just started smoking like crazy," Coleman said. "And it smelled terrible. I didn't see anything in the mirror, so I was like, 'I wonder where it went?' I said, 'Guys, I hit a coyote. I'm going to come in because I think it screwed up the radiator. I think it clogged up the
grille a little bit.'"
This happened last year. I got off another forum I go to.

This is true... I just don't know where to take it to go that fast. Drag racing is boring, as it's one 1/4 mile. I love top speed runs and twisties. I can't tell you how many times I've driven Mulholland Drive...
Oh well. Looks like I'm gonna have to make a trip to Utah...

Here in California on the I-5 is a long stretch of straight road...right before Coalinga near Harris Ranch u can punch the gas and see what the V8 can do...I got up to 140 but didn't push it to much further. But be careful comin out of the valley into n thru Coalinga. Right before Harris Ranch chp can't post up on side of the road to clock ur speed so they wait for u comin out of that valley of straight away to catch u. That poor mustang I was running got caught pushing at least 120 plus....I cruised down to a nice 80mph n went on my way ticket free n one mustang notch more on my z28's belt.
