Not even a little bit. I can't think of any car that I can't find the top speed readily available online.

On the bike, I'd only need about 11 seconds to hit near the top speed anyway

I'm not sure I'd ever have the ***** to do something like that and definitely no way I could do that and not feel like an idiot. That just seems like too much of a risk to me. Just one of those things where I'd be curious... but not that curious.

What the hell do you guys mean 165mph is BS on an RX-8? That's nothing, mine can hit like 190 mph or so.

Nope, I had stock rims and stock tires. I think the governor was removed on my RX-8 because I was doing 165mph at about 8000 RPM on 6th speed.

I haven't come close to hitting top speed in my 8, but the fastest i've ever gone was somewhere between 150 and 160 in a friend of mines 370z a couple weeks ago...

Beauty of having a friend whos uncle just bought 3 sets of farm land right by eachother. The dead-end road that runs through the middle of them is turned into your personal driveway ha...

190Mph on a Yamaha R-1 was awesome.
