Z-06 decided to go 185MPH plus on a Highway, an Antelope (or several)
jumped out and he and his wife are dead, I went to the funeral as the now
Parentless daughter is dating a relative.

Think about it, an armadillo, cow, rabbit, illegal Alien or large bird can kill you going that fast, not to say that doesnt happen in Germany but there is much more open range

Just a Coyote can destroy a vehicle at that speed, I will grant you that its
a rush but a track day is worth every penny and so is your life

:rocks:
Hey, I agree and good advice, but the point is we are all seeking thrills or we would be driving Chevrolet Cobalts. I will track my car and also open it up when conditions warrant. Trying to tell someone to keep it under 155 is like trying to tell someone how to exercise their faith. It's a personal thing. If I can get the car opened up with no danger to anyone but myself...I know the risks. I suspect those two in the Corvette who died weren't ready to die, but died happy and knew the risks as I do. Shit happens.
Still waiting for someone to answer the original question about delimiting
