Default 149 mph?

I didnt think my truck could make it up there! Friend and I went for a fun run with Diablo live data and recorded 149 before I let out and she had a bit left in her. I figured the aerodynamics woulda hurt me before then. 80-130 flashed by in no time at all, got a bit slow after 135, but kept pullin strong.

Anyone else have any foolish high speed adventures? This is personally 4th place for me...

I've done 150 on a motorcycle on my way to Palm Springs.

Recently, I've hit 90mph from time to time in the truck and 135 in my wifes TL.
