Bob, you must be of the old school. What is your age? It was the same when
I had the sound system installed. "I wanted a band pass to fell the music
vice hearing the music."
Or maybe you just not keeping up with the latest and greatest. PVO said the
car is good for 153MPH. The Motor Trend drove the car over 140MPH.
Car-n-Driver did it and so did Sport Compact. They had the same comment -
"...truly is a racing suspension..."
However, this car at 120MPH is about safe or safer than the old Porsche you
were driving back in the 80s. There is no comparison here at all.
After driven a Viper, this suspension and braking for the car is made for
speed. Maybe that is why it is ready for the SCCA racing with only adding
the safety harness and helmet.
Bob, I think we are done with this conversation. Oh...Darwin award? In your
case, I hoping that this award doesn't apply to you: IGNORANT AWARD.

I have. On the Autobahn between Germany and Italy(and it was totally
legal back in the 80's when there wasn't a maximum speed limit on the
Autobahn). In a Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera. Dude in a Neon going at
120mph that car does get skittish(and I have a much better brakes and
suspension than the SRT so don't even go there). One fuckup and you're
toast. PERIOD! ABS isn't gonna save your ass if something breaks, or
someone or something jumps out in front of you.

Street racing in a car that you have barely any seat time.. How safe is
that?? Are you stoned or stupid???
