scarbtj in Orlando?
If you want give the GM my number (614 940 9523) or email: andrew@modernhorsepower.com I'll be more than happy to set him up with a seriously discounted "tester" tune for a vehicle of his choosing--we can do yours if you talk him into it. It would still carry the same $ back guarantee all our tuning.
Thanks
Andy

Don't wanna spoil the party but...
Just thought I'd chime in here from a law enforcement perspective, to give you guys something to think about. I have spoken with several NYPD highway officers, and I'm sure their feelings are shared by a significant number of our colleagues in different departments.
The general feeling is that anyone caught doing speeds upwards of 150mph on a public road would not be issued a traffic ticket, and instead be arrested and charged with Reckless Endangerment, which in New York is a Class A Misdemeanor, carrying a sentence of up to 1 year in jail.
Again, I'm not trying to be a wet blanket, I just wanted you guys to know what you were risking driving at these speeds on public roads.

It is no secret that in the US speed limits are designed to generate revenue.

I have done stuff like that before as well, Frankfurt airport (running late) and also back and forth to Stugart UT and Sindelfingen.

That's OK, the best I can hope to get the C63 to locally is 80mph due to traffic, so you get to play with your car much more then I ever will. Have you seen your tires wear quickly at the higher speeds?

I just don't really understand why you would want to go that fast on a public road given how terribly unpredictable other drivers are. I nearly flipped a marked police car when someone decided to change lanes right in front of me while I was going 80 with my lights and sirens on. If that person didn't see me, you think they are going to see a C63 coming at 100+? Meanwhile you can go to a track, go faster and be safe.
The choice is obvious for me
