I never pass anyone going that fast, would probably scare the **** out of them and would be my fault if they crash.

Suspesion, brakes, and tires should be a huge priority.

my ecsb never felt out of control past 130. the fastest i ever had it was around 160...good road no problem. rode smoothe, but a LOT of wind noise. you could hear wind making it through the door jambs. it just doesnt slow down from that fast very well lol.

Been to 160 in the truck. Everything is flying by at that speed but the truck handles good in the higher speeds.

I've been to 135mph in mine. Truck sticks to the road a lot better at that speed than it does at 90mph, that's for sure.
