How fast...

have you taken your Boss?

For me, about 90...nothing too extreme. How does the Boss handle at 120mph?

Seriously? I think there are a ton of vids on Youtube with pro drivers behind the wheel as well as amateurs at Track Attack... Can't wait to get mine on the track next year, I'm sure it will be great at that speed.

I've topped 125 a few times on other than closed courses (and reported here on the screaming dash alarm phenomenon)...

125 mph on a track and "elsewhere" for me.

I've always wondered what these cars would do w/o the speed limiter. I would guess around 175 mph. Anybody know?

I saw 135 on the back straight of Watkins Glen this summer, after the uphill esses, before the "bus stop".

I've gotten to 135 on a infrequently traveled, but recently paved highway by my house. at the end is a huge banked curve that makes a 180 onto another highway. its wicked fun.

A little over 150 at talladega. Didn't quite hit the speed limiter. Still pulling nicely when I had to lift.

I've had mine up to at least 165MPH, according to my GPS. That was on the way back from the Ring one day. I'm gonna miss the autobahn! Here is video up to 160 on a different day.

Thanks! It is a blast over here when you have a clear, dry day and open roads!
