An indicated 145mph on an empty interstate early in the morning.. She had some more juice left in here, but I was running out of room quick, so I had to put on the brakes.
This was on a 98.5 SVT with KKM and no resonator at the time.

Fastest I took my SVT to was 260kmph. And yes - it WAS down a hill (a big straight one).
