Nope. I did that when the engine had around 12k on the ODO. At 120k on the ODO, I was lucky to break 100....

I know someone here who has done max speed on a dyno, and it wasn't 160.. Don't believe your speedometer, it will lie to you.

i was talking about the US, but have you ever been to europe? the autobahn is far different from any highway in the states. i was referring to people doing 100+ in areas where you cant tell whats that far ahead of you or areas where theres a good amount of traffic. ive almost been killed by about 3 people who were driving wrecklessly out of control. if you wanna drive ridiculously fast in an area where theres no traffic and you have plain sight of the road in an open area, go for it as long as your life is the only one endangered by your driving.
