high speed w/ the beemers

What an exciting morning.... I had to go into work early, to get out a presentation. I leave my house at 4:30 am..... hop on the interstate (it's freakin empty) and get behind a ford F250 pickup and we're doing a constant 90-100 mph.... then a newer 5 series Beemer comes up from behind (I see the projector halos in my rear view).... I start playing w/ him at 100-120 mph (swapping the lead).... then a newer 3 series joins in.... now we are cruzin (the 5, the 3 and me in my SC) at 120 mph..... the 3 starts to throttle down, I go after him.... I look down 130 mph.... the 3 is not letting off, the 5 is falling back..... I look down again 140 mph..... whew!!! I had to get off for my exit . I have never been that fast in my SC.... I still pumped up!!!!

So, I was extremely happy that the SC can run w/ such fast company!!! The Dunlop Winter Sport M3 V-rated snows... were very confidence inspiring at 140mph in 5 degree temperature....

It seemed like I had more left..... what is my real top end fellas????? I need to know where the limiter kicks in!

My freakin SC is unbelieveable!!!! I love her

what's TOP END???? when does the limiter kick in???

limiter I think is at 159, not sure I would have announced doing 140 though. Just be careful man!!!! We don't want any horror pics showing up of you. And I know the interstate was dead but you never can tell what will happen.

appreciate the concern .... the interstate was empty, I was more concerned about getting pulled over from not seeing the piggies in the dark

are you saying.... the SC will do 159 mph stock?????
