I don't do top speed runs for a number of reasons. One being that my tires aren't rated for the speed that I should be able to run, and another good reason is what happens if a deer jumps out in front of me or there's a pothole in the middle of the road. I've worked too hard on my Monte to see it destroyed by being that stupid.

The real thrill comes when accelerating, but I don't get that until the Monte's in 2nd, lol. Anyways, be safe in your quest of finding your top speed. As with Enzo, mine is set to 255mph

Thats why you need a supercharger. It has a much more manageable whine!

I have pegged mine at 140 mph prior to doing any work to it. It was in a reasonably safe manner with many witnesses to my potential death.

Stock do you think it would pull past 150?
