Mines got PP top end with forced air ram air system and open air temp sensor mounted right inside the mouth of the ram air. But I'm still running stock cats and manifolds with a Borla exhaust. So it's not totally stock. It hits 165mph really quick but after that the climb to 180mph is a bit slower. I think thats the case with any car capable of that speed. The last 20 miles an hour to top speed comes slower. I would like to know how many miles it takes for it to get to 180 also but thats just to much to be paying attention to while your going that fast. When I hit the exit I'm still at 150mph on the brakes. There are some corners and bridges but very slight. I never have to let off the gas for any of them. But I will be in the middle of both lanes in the long corners. The car handles so good at that speed that I don't feel uncomfortable at all. But I don't feel comfortable passing other cars up at that speed and will slow down until I'm passed them. Hey if I'm gonna die I'd rather die instead of taking other people out with me.
But guy's thats the last time I'm doing that on a public road. I've gotten away with it many times. I don't worry about the car or me. I worry about the cops. They'ed through my azz in prison and impound my car if they caught me doing that. I just don't need that sheet in my life. Just not worth it. Drag strip is cheap and and always there.
