Yeah really...I live in the concrete jungle, Brooklyn NY......Not many places by me if any where it would be ideal to clock those MPH.....Grantet though a few times I was on the garden state pkwy , and hammered it.....My Zs making around 440 in the crank and your right after 100 MPH it just wants to keep pulling...
