I've had my 'safety yellow' datto up to about 150, but at 2.5 times the
speed limit, I decided to slow down to a safer speed. This was with just a
rebuilt L16 and 4 speed too. This was a few months ago, and don't try huge
speeds anymore, after realising how stupid it was the first time. Speed's
for the tracks - acceleration is for the roads! Call me lame, but I recon
speeding (excessively that is) is pointless, especially where your not only
puting yourself in danger but other people.
