I haven't. It's only "ok" on roads you know in a car you're comfortable/capable of doing so in, with no traffic.

How do you keep yourself under control with the power you're putting down? Hell I like to do 130mph runs for fun in a stock 525i.

No traffic of course. I never speed with traffic.

I work in excess of 90hrs a week on a good, slow week and the roads in this part of town are just plain trash. I never cruise with anyone so I haven't had the chance to, really.

I need a job so I can get more mods on my car so I can easily peg the speedo.

i've gotten the srt up to 130 out on the pa turnpike a few years ago. was an hour or so east of Pittsburgh... hadn't seen traffic in a while, next exit was 30 miles away... and the road was a straight as i could see. I could have kept going, but i didn't feel comfortable going faster, even though the car had it in it and was settled just fine on the road

I dont think you are mean .. but I know what you are saying.. I used to be that way.. I've changed so much over the past few years that tbh.. If i still do act like that when i am comfortable, I dont even realize it, and then, it gives people the wrong impression of me.

It gets scary around those speeds because you know if you do something slightly wrong you're done.

The only time I hit 130 was the time I hit 120 and saw that I was to close to the limiter to let off. So I pushed it a bit more. Was it worth it? Totally.

Who cares what people think of you?

For the record, topless Ferraris make a lot of girls weak at the knees, ask me how I know.

eh we'd get along. I look at it as being real. Some people can't handle the blunt honesty though...

I'd personally rather know the truth than be told a white lie, because then you're given false convictions. I hate those girls who are really full of themselves for no good reason.
