I've had mine to 6000RPMS in 4th right at the brake point for turn 1 at thunderhill. The math makes that at about 140. I don't think I've had it any faster in 5th on the road but the math puts top end in 5th (6KRpms) at 170 and change. Much too dangerious for the public road. Look at the speedo at 150MPH? Are you nutts?

By the way my speedo is dead right at 80MPH. CHP told be so. Expensive speedo calibaration.

Noise test? Noise test! I don't got to do no stinking noise test senior!
