How fast can the SHO go and how fast do you dare to take it?

My sincere hope is that many of you are embellishing your exploits. The consequences for this kind of driving on public roads are severe from best to worst case.

Losing everything you've worked to attain in life because you maim or kill someone.

Death-that's the easy part, destroying the lives of everyone who loves you, orphaning your kids, widowing your wives.....how many of you think your families would find this juvenile behavior worth losing you over?

I don't give a s*** how good of a driver you are, at those speeds everything is deadly....from Bambi crossing the road , to mechanical failure,to a patch of gravel in he wrong place.... it will be over before the words holy s*** exit your mouth. The car will not protect you at those speeds, why do you think NHRA mandates a rollbar for 11's?

Not to mention looking at our demographics, most of us aren't spring chickens anymore and our reflexes aren't what they used to be.

If you guys feel the need to drive that fast, pony up the cash and go to a sanctioned event that will let you get it out of your system in a controlled environment.

While you are at it type the following search terms....

Speeding, bragging, boasting, forum.


BiGMaC

Agree with FoMoCo.... As I said.

While int he USAF I learned about the sensation of speed doing Mach 2 at 500' off the desert floor.... Cars really can't compare there as much as I love my SHO.

BTW.... Any little thing can be lethal there too!
