Cool, as I mentioned earlier, this is where (in SoCal) you can do what you were asking about. May 7th & 8th, hosted by Speedventures. Information is here:

To top out in this car would take so long that you'll get bored easily.

If you want to try it out, try doing 130+MPH on the ACS Roval bank.

THIS. Not too bad, little over an hour outside of socal, and no issues with high speeds.

I hit 142 when I went out there last time.

They close it down sometimes after rain, because idiots go out there and do donuts in the lake bed and make big ass dips/ditches.

I'm pretty sure you can check to see if its open or not via their website.
