Has anyone here who has the 6mt N.A. 2.0 gone over 100mph? And how fast have they gone? I'm interested in how the car drives and feels at very high speeds. And just how fast it can go. The fastest I've gone so far was about 75. Where I live it's a risk to do this because of the police. There's one highway I know of where it might work but I haven't had a chance to do it yet. This summer I'm going to drive out there and try it, I think. And where are the rpm's at 100? I'm guessing, maybe, 4000?

If there is no one else around it doesnt matter.

Like Paul Walker said.... "If I die of speed, I died smiling."
That's a very disingenuous point of view.

I do a lot of driving early in the morning or late at night and I'm usually cruising along at 90-100mph. It'll go up to 120mph when I'm leap frogging from group to group. But keep in mind, I take meticulous care of my equipment, drive conscientiously around people and I have a very good lawyer.

I would not recommend going above 120 for extended periods of time. The car gets very light.

The fastest I’ve been in mine was 136 at an airstrip. I’ve got quite a few supporting mods though.

Why dont you go to a drag strip and test it out instead of endangering lives? Especially yours
This is a disingenuous argument. I did this as a teenager, and it just made me want to push my car on the street even more. Waiting in the staging area for 2+ hours just to get one pass at the strip, or paying $120+ just get 1-2 laps at a track after driving 200+ miles to get there, isn’t feasible.

He died because the tires were ancient on that car he was in. It sat in garage for years as a collector car with few miles.

How so? Anyone who knows me IRL knows this statement fits me perfectly. I dont care about anyone except myself. And I love to speed in Mexico. If I get hurt. Too bad.
Anyone trying to justify the "if i die speeding, i die smiling" mantra is glorifying it, like it's something to strive for.
