I only have visions of passing everyone!
Looking forward to saying hello if you take the ride.
You'll get to watch me qualify for 'Solo' status.

Time to drop the car 1.5", take off the side view mirrors, and disable the spoiler (eek).

Based on your tach, you speed in the picture is actually about 167 or less mph unless you're running much large tirres than stock. Still scarey fast, but considerably shy of 175.

Why would I do that when you are clearly not running at 6800 RPM? Your car is the typical 5% off in the speedo at that speed.
