M235 140ish, slight understeer through a broad right hand bend. Michelin- I can't recall if MPSS or AS3+.
Anything over 140 is very fast on (Mexican) roads. As I recall the car starts to whistle a little but the 235 feels like it has more speed and is stable for such a short wheelbase. Last edited by overcoil; 01-17-2020 at 04:39 PM.. |

One of my fav cars growing up. I regret not ever owning one. I'd like a Turbo S or a GTR.

My high school car, a '67 Dodge Dart, would top out around 85. And that took a couple of miles of pedal to the floor to reach.

The first car I ever drove. Ours was Manila Folder Manilla with a vinyl interior of the day. What a tank!!

Had an FJ1200 that I hit triple digits (barely) with just once. The head shake that suddenly popped up scared the shit out of me. Never pushed it that high again.

The front vents with the little doors were awesome. They would just swallow a Michelob bottle, so you could keep your beer cold. We used to call them "torpedo tubes."

Don't get the no passenger rule but with a passenger I hit 140ish at NOLA Motorsport in my stock E90 M3 on several occasions. Only mod is Akra Evolution exhaust and a BPM stage 2 tune for the high flow cats.

Actually had more fun at the two-day M school in SC even though we didn't hit those kinds of speeds.

150ish on my Honda 929rr. Stock everything. Somewhere in Mexico. Flew past a deer standing on the side of the road just waiting to dart out in front of me. Dumbest thing I've ever done. No wait the first marriage at 22 years old was dumber. OK, second dumbest thing I've ever done. Scared the piss out of me.

Race cars allowed but not bikes? What about mid-150’s three times per lap at Road America? I saw 161 once with a little wind behind me and a really late brake.
