Oh i know it is, NOT, but no really I was doing 140, but really WHY? It was dark, after a party nite so cops are out there, and why risk it. BTW 140 is my fastest in that car for just 20 or so seconds.

two hands on the steering wheel is for your own safety. Going at that speed with only one hand, you cannot react fast enough if something happens.

99slvrC43, you gotta try 155 at least just once. I did it once in mine. Actually goes up to 158 on slight downhill on the freeway.

OK OK OK, all this talk about two hands on the wheel, I'll tell you where my other hands was, on the knee of my girlfriend. I will try top speed one day on a clear open road.

that's interesting, I thought the C43/C36 are all limited to 155 like the C32.

Friday night at 10:30 I was in an M3 conv, with another friend in his M3 conv following us. We went 140 across I-90 and over the bridges and through the tunnels. Now that was fun... No pics though...
