Know the freeway/tollway you're talking about. Did you reach that speed going uphill or downhill. Either way, that road is a blast. Smooth and great visability. For the price, it beats anything in Disneyland. Stay in contact with the road!
Well, I had a '85 Euro 535i (235h.p.) - 5-speed OD with 3:73LSD. New Metric tires on correct alloys. Found a new straigh - strech of FREEWAY
in Southern, CA.
It was a beautiful Sunday returning from a E24 - SHARK cruise along PCH.
Anyway - I got on the tollroad and opened her up -
I glanced down at the speedo - It was above 150m.p.h. - exact reading was 152m.p.h. - I got scared and backed off the gas. Believe it or not there was alittle more peddle - I know I could of got it to 155m.p.h. It took 10 minutes to pry my hands off the steering wheel!!!!!!!!!!


But that's a unknown area for a 15 year old car..... I want to live alot longer. I don't recommend anyone doing it unless your car is 100%.

BE CAREFUL!!!! SPEED is a RUSH but can be expensive and DEADLY!
