The little C still has more room. Some people have documented 199mph. Personally at the last mile run, i got 182 (I kept running after the mile point where my best was 172).

I'll refrain from commenting that 173mph on a public road is idiotic, irresponsible, selfish and outrageously dangerous. I will also not say that you put other people's lives at risk, or that this should have been done on a track.

I agree, keep it on the track. Its not worth risking lives, traveling that fast on public roads.

The comments make me laugh. There are plenty of places in the US where the highways are huge and there are very few people on the road (I remember traveling thru Nevada and Utah and you would have miles and miles of straight roads without a soul on it.
In Europe, the roads are much smaller and people still drive this fast.
Just be safe out there.

And I'll refrain from askin how you could make such a stupid statement when you never saw anything but the dashboard. And I will also not comment on the fact that having not seen IF there were any other cars on the road you're really not in a positon to be passing judgement. And I'll also assume that you have never broken the speed limit.

I will also add that it was night time and it was 12AM. Im sure the roads were empty.

I will also add I heard a passenger who im sure agreed to be in the car during this high speed run.

I concur the statement was stupid.

I hit 172mph in the standing mile and in the standing 1.25 mile went 175mph.
The car still had plenty of pull. It was amazing!
