And I thought it was bad when I did 150 in my Z...

Did I mention that was 150 mph?

Well if I had ever had the FRS up to the max speed fuel cut off of about 130mph I am sure it would have theoretically been getting rather dicey in the handling and been a tad bit scary. This is pure speculation of course.

Our cars are governed?

FRS might be a little too light to beable to get to the speeds my Z used to do.. I remember getting to that 150 mark and had to back off just out of pure fear.. mostly fear of being caught. Getting caught at the speed is a felony

Well if I had actually gone that fast then the fuel may possibly have cut out just before the speedometer might have buried.
It wouldn't have matter though since the car could have felt like lift off was imminent and I would probably have stopped accelerating about that point anyway. If it ever was to actually happen.

Oh and I may have been in Mexico at the time!
