RE: airbox & exhaust

["Marc Brown" <Mad_One@msn.com>]

I brought my car to about 40 in 1st, 70 in 2nd, 105 in 3rd, 125 in fourth and 
150 in 5th (speedometer indicated).  I didn't finish 5th gear yet, because my 
radar detector freaked out, so I slowed down real quick.  I have yet to try it 
again.  I was also racing a Mustang (... a what) when I did this.

Actually I'm not sure how fast I was going when when I hit redline in 4th
(too busy looking between the tach, road, and stang) but I was over 120
MPH when I had to slow down to take the exit.  I was actually thinking
about my experience this weekend and I want to hit the open road one of
these days just to see how fast I can go with every gear.  Has anyone
ever done this?
