I have been 195mph in a 2 cars and it was smooth as silk! wanted to go faster! me and tony got out of the cheescake factory around 10 and were on our way over to the lot and it started pouring…so we said fuck it. I had enough racing during the day anyways…10+, 145+mph runs was good enough for me for the day. ---

ive taken my car out to 7100rpm in 5th. its good for about 170mph… 7800 in 5th is 185 :ohnoes edit: if i put a TDi 5th gear in my car at 7800rpm my gearing would go to approximately 220mph… my car would do cartwheels long before that though… prepare for take off. ---

i definitely had fun. I even told joey beforehand that if it felt squirrely I would just shut down. but I was definitely feathering the clutch lol. I started out in second instead of 3rd like I should have, and mike had noticed that I was shortshifting. Im actually happy he was in the car, as he’s driven a comparable car and will know if I’m doing anything wrong. also had fun with the anti-lag 🙂 from now on I’m bringing the laptop to datalog everything that goes on !! ---
