Default How fast have you taken the ISF

So I really was really interested in how fast have you guys got on the ISF "personal top speed"
What is the feel of the car going at really high speeds ?
How confident do u feel driving at that rate of speed and should traction be on ?
Street or track ...

Hit the top speed on the road. On the road I was on was not the best and at 170 it really was tough keeping it clean. Car still felt good though, just need to find a better road to do it on. I have hit 150 on the track and felt very stable. TC was on both times.

Don't have much if any roads around my area that I'd be tempted to try a high speed test on, but I have hit 145 mph on the straight of Summit Point Main.

speed limited more than once. Pocono full track, mass turnpilke, old air base in NY with over a mile straight thats abandon... air strip is perfect and over 4 feet thick of concrete and the town wont let anyone do anything with it so you have to sneak in get you pull and not hang out to see if anyone ever even shows up

Done 160mph in the 08 ISF on the smooth highway while running against a modded 335i. Never again, just too dangerous on public roads. Condition of the road is a definite factor for high speed stability.

Gone 145mph on the track in the 11 ISF and feels much more planted at high speeds.

Off topic, I think I read somewhere that the ISF cannot run more than 140mph sustained, could cause some drivetrain failure.
