Wow this guy's a dumbass.

I didn't feel like reading the whole deal but the spark ramp out is actually at 106. My tires can handle 186+ MPH, but that doesn't mean the axles or anything else in the rotating assembly can. There is a lot of force being applied trying to pull the rotating components apart, and unless they can take it, expect a catastrophic failure. I've gone to 130 MPH for a sec once during tuning just for the hell of it, but slowed down quickly primarily because I'd rather not hit a pothole, have a blowout, or have a tie rod end come loose at that speed.

Oh shit 350HP. Learn to drive if you can't handle a little snow in your MONSTEROUSLY powerful Trans Am.

Lack of tickets does NOT indicate that you're a good driver. It just means you're lucky. I haven't gotten any tickets and I've done some things that could've landed me some big fines or caused some serious damage.

Yeah you're the best driver that's ever lived. Driver's Ed sure prepared you for anything and everything you'll ever see on the road. You must've done a significant amount of hours of training in handling various terrains and conditions at varying speeds and turn angles. Let me throw some ice down in front of you as you're going 70 MPH and someone cuts you off and see you "control" that emergency.
