Neato and I'm sure it was on a private track to insure NAM compliance. I just sold my '08 Cooper Clubman which my original plan was to eventually modify it just enough to do 150 at the Texas Mile track. I found out that it would have been cost prohibitive. I just traded that in a couple of days ago for a Cooper S hardtop so I'm sure that is relatively easy to attain after seeing your speed. I'm just hoping I will be able to do it in a mile.

I don't know the actual rules but I got cited 25 NAM points for talking about how fast I topped out my Cooper Clubman. I only heard references to the rule. Eventually, I want a CAI, free flowing exhaust, about an inch lowered, and some type of performance chip or what ever is done to the OBD now. That should get me pretty close to my goal at the Texas Mile.

White hair at 34? Hardly...I have however pushed far beyond 142 or 152 legally on a track which from your response your dumb@ss will never do. Feel free to wrap yourself around the nearest telephone pole just try not to take another inncocent law abiding citizen along with you.

It's not about hair color. It's about the rules of this board like it or not. There's no discussion of excessive speeding allowed.

5. LEGAL
Posts relating to street racing, excessive speeding, or violations of other laws are prohibited. If you want to race, take it to a legal venue.


As OXYBLU said... IBTL.

Far too fast for public roads, however I will say that I87 is pretty much the best road to do this on if you're going to do it.
