In the comments he says the car is 100% stock.

I had the cruise control on mine set to 135 MPH for about 20 minutes, and had to stay in the middle lane to let the fast cars go by. There was a lot of gas pedal left, so it is likely that it could have hit the 150 MPH limiter.

Just think how fast you could have gone if your car was AT!

Lol was this on the autobahn?

On the track top speed is faster than I could get it up to before I had to brake for a turn. On the highway faster than I care to take it without risking a conversation with a state trooper.
On the street a lot faster than I would take it knowing I could kill someone.

Bottom line - In the USA, who gives a shyt? Only a foolish bench racer.

The important question is; can my dad still beat up your dad?
